Background

Urocortins 1, 2 and 3 are the mammalian homologs of fish urotensin I. Mammalian urocortin is a member of the corticotropin-releasing hormone(CRH) family that is expressed in a region of the rat midbrain. The distinct expression pattern in discrete brain regions suggests that it influences such behavior as feeding, anxiety and auditory processing. Synthetic human urocortin binds with high affinity to CRH receptors and acts in vitro to release ACTH from dispersed rat anterior pituitary cells. It is suggested that urocortin may be an endogenous CRF-like factor in the brain responsible for the effects of stress on appetite. The gene which encodes urocortin maps to human chromosome 2. Specifically, urocortin III is a specific ligand for CRF type 2 receptor which mediates stress-coping responses. Human urocortin I and III are expressed in the human heart. Urocortin III is also expressed in the pituitary gland, adrenal gland, GI tract, ovary, spleen, brain and kidney.

1. What is the difference between the Quantikine and Duoset ELISA kits?
   • Our Quantikine kits are fully optimized and validated for the sample types listed on the product specific webpage and datasheet, as this can vary between kits. Each kit is supplied ready to use with one pre-coated 96-well plate, a detection antibody directly conjugated to HRP, and all other necessary reagents. These kits are ideal for researchers who want the convenience of a ready to use and optimized ELISA product. Some of these kits are also available prepackaged in larger 6 and 50 plate sizes.Our DuoSet Kits, in contrast, are ELISA development kits containing the capture and detection antibody, the mass-value calibrated standard, and streptavidin-HRP to prepare approximately 5 or 15 plates. Ancillary reagents will need to be used/purchased, and for most kits, we will recommend one of our Ancillary Reagent Kits, which contain the reagents we use ourselves in-house. DuoSet kits are validated only for cell culture supernatant samples and therefore require further development and validation for accurate measurement in more complex samples such as serum and plasma. Our DuoSet Kits offer an economical, flexible alternative for the experienced ELISA user.
