products description :
Introduction: Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is a 41-amino acid peptide derived from a 191-amino acid preprohormone. CRH is secreted by the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus in response to stress. Marked reduction in CRH has been observed in association with Alzheimer's disease, and autosomal recessive hypothalamic corticotropin deficiency has multiple and potentially-fatal metabolic consequences including hypoglycemia and hepatitis. In addition to being produced in the hypothalamus, CRH is also synthesized in peripheral tissues, such as T lymphocytes, and is highly expressed in the placenta. In the placenta, CRH is a marker that determines the length of gestation and the timing of parturition and delivery. A rapid increase in circulating levels of CRH occurs at the onset of parturition, suggesting that, in addition to its metabolic functions, CRH may act as a trigger for parturition. Principle of the Assay: This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. A anti-antibody specific to the antibody of CRH has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with an antibody specific for CRH and Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugated CRH, then incubated. A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between CRH (Standards or samples) and Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugated CRH with the antibody specific for CRH. The more the amount of CRH in samples, the less antibody bound by Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) conjugated CRH. The substrate solutions are added to the wells, respectively. And the color develops in opposite to the amount of CRH in the sample. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
