Estradiol ELISA Kit
Product Estradiol ELISA Kit
Catalog Number BQ 180S
Quantity 96 well plate
Sample Type Serum or Plasma
Description
The Estradiol (E2) Enzyme Immunoassay is intended for the quantitative determination of Estradiol (E2) concentration in human serum or plasma. Estradiol E2 is the most potent natural Estrogen, produced mainly by the ovary, placenta, and in smaller amounts by the adrenal cortex, and the male testes. Estradiol is secreted into the blood stream where 98% bound to sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). Estrogenic activity is effected via estradiol-receptor complexes which trigger the appropriate response at the follicles, uterus, breast, vagina, urethra, hypothalamus, pituitary and to a lesser extent the liver and skin. Serum Estradiol measurements are a valuable index in evaluating a variety of menstrual dysfunctions such as precocious or delayed puberty in girls and primary and secondary amenorrhea and menopause. Estradiol levels have been reported to be increased in patients with feminizing syndromes, gynaecomastia and testicular tumors. In cases of infertility, serum Estradiol measurements are useful for monitoring induction of ovulation following treatment.
