- Official Gene Full Name:
- neuropeptide VF precursor
- NCBI Gene Id:
- 64111
- Alias Symbols:
- tcag7.1077, C7orf9, RFRP, FMRFamide-related peptides|RFamide-related peptide|neuropeptide NPVF
- Description of Target:
- Neuropeptide RFRP-1 acts as a potent negative regulator of gonadotropin synthesis and secretion. Neuropeptides NPSF and NPVF efficiently inhibit forskolin-induced production of cAMP, but RFRP-2 shows no inhibitory activity. Neuropeptide RFRP-1 induces secretion of prolactin in rats. Neuropeptide NPVF blocks morphine-induced analgesia.

- Kit Principle:
- Aviva Systems Biology NPVF ELISA Kit (Human) (OKCA01242) is based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay technology. An antibody specific for NPVF has been pre-coated onto a 96-well plate (12 x 8 Well Strips). Standards or test samples are added to the wells, incubated and removed. A biotinylated detector antibody specific for NPVF is added, incubated and followed by washing. Avidin-Peroxidase Conjugate is then added, incubated and unbound conjugate is washed away. An enzymatic reaction is produced through the addition of TMB substrate which is catalyzed by HRP generating a blue color product that changes to yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow coloration read by absorbance at 450 nm and is quantitatively proportional to the amount of sample NPVF captured in the well.
