products description :
Introduction: ELISA is a simple and highly sensitive method of analysis that allows for simultaneous and rapid quantification of a large number of samples. The assay is based on the specific recognition of the target compound (analyte/antigen) by antibodies which bind to the compound. The antigen-antibody complex is detected and measured with the aid of an enzyme-labeled antibody or antigen. Upon addition of a non-colored reagent, the enzyme produces a color reaction where the color intensity is directly or inversely proportional to the concentration of the analyte in the sample. This quantitative Sandwich ELISA kit is in tended to determinate FGF-21 concentrations in Rat serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, feces, urine and body fluids, and it is only for research, not for drug, household, therapeutic or diagnostic applications!

ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities and are involved in a variety of biological processes including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. The function of this growth factor has not yet been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
uniprot summary :
FGF21: Stimulates glucose uptake in differentiated adipocytes via the induction of glucose transporter SLC2A1/GLUT1 expression (but not SLC2A4/GLUT4 expression). Activity requires the presence of KLB. Belongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family. Protein type: Secreted; Secreted, signal peptide. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 19q13.33. Cellular Component: extracellular region. Molecular Function: protein binding; growth factor activity; fibroblast growth factor receptor binding. Biological Process: positive regulation of glucose import; cell-cell signaling; positive regulation of cell proliferation; positive regulation of low-density lipoprotein receptor biosynthetic process; signal transduction
