  • Product overview

    Mouse Retinol Binding Protein 4 ELISA Kit (ab202404) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Retinol Binding Protein 4 protein in cell culture extracts, cell culture supernatant, serum, tissue extracts, urine, cit plasma, edta plasma, and hep plasma. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Mouse Retinol Binding Protein 4 with 1.6 pg/ml sensitivity.


    SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:


            - Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
            - High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
            - Fully validated in biological samples
            - 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips


    A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

  • Notes

    Retinol-Binding Protein 4 (RBP4) is a small, highly conserved member of the lipocalin superfamily involved in the transportation of retinol (Vitamin A) in blood. Synthesized in hepatocytes and adipocytes, RBP4 is also an adipokine involved in insulin resistance in the AG4KO mouse model. Elevated serum levels of RBP4 are seen in obesity and Type 2 diabetes.

    SimpleStep ELISA technology allows the formation of the antibody-antigen complex in one single step, reducing assay time to 90 minutes. Add samples or standards and antibody mix to wells all at once, incubate, wash, and add your final substrate. See protocol for a detailed step-by-step guide.
