Standards or test samples are added to the wells, along with an alkaline phosphatase (AP) conjugated- Serotonin antigen and a polyclonal rabbit antibody specific to Serotonin. After incubation the excess reagents are washed away. pNpp substrate is added and after a short incubation the enzyme reaction is stopped and the yellow color generated is read at 405 nm. The intensity of the yellow coloration is inversely proportional to the amount of Serotonin captured in the plate.\u003cbr\u003e\nAssay specificity\u003cbr\u003e\nCross reactivity:\u003cbr\u003e\n- N-Acetyl Serotonin : 17%\u003cbr\u003e\n- 5-Hydroxy-L-tryptophan: 0.4%\u003cbr\u003e\n- Tryptamine: 0.1%\u003cbr\u003e\n- 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic acid: 0.03%\u003cbr\u003e\n- Melatonin: 0.01%\u003cbr\u003e\n- Tyramine: \u0026lt;0.004%\u003cbr\u003e\n- Tryptophan: \u0026lt;0.004%\u003cbr\u003e\nSerotonin ELISA Kit ab133053 protocol summary\u003cbr\u003e\n1.

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a monoamine found in the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and blood with broad physiological functions as a neurotransmitter, in gastric motility, hemostasis, and cardiovascular integrity. Defects in serotonin signaling have been linked to a large number of complex behavioral disorders in humans, including anxiety and depression, autism, and eating disorders, and to neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's. Platelets serve as the major reservoir of serotonin in the bloodstream. When activated, platelets release serotonin into the bloodstream where it acts as a powerful vasoconstrictor. Treatment with Selective Serotonin Uptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) dramatically reduces platelet serotonin concentrations, and altered levels of serotonin in the circulatory system are implicated in such diverse conditions such as asthma, liver cirrhosis and carcinoid tumors.\u003cbr\u003e\nOther kits for measuring neurotransmitters are:\u003cbr\u003e\n- Dopamine ELISA Kit\u003cbr\u003e\nab285238\u003cbr\u003e\n- Glutamate Assay Kit\u003cbr\u003e\nab83389\u003cbr\u003e\n- Norepinephrine ELISA Kit\u003cbr\u003e\nab287789\u003cbr\u003e\n- Adrenaline ELISA Kit\u003cbr\u003e\nab287788\u003cbr\u003e\n- Human Acetylcholine ELISA Kit\u003cbr\u003e\nab287811\u003cbr\u003e\n- Human GABA ELISA Kit\u003cbr\u003e\nab287792\u003cbr\u003e\nSerotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a monoamine found in the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and blood with broad physiological functions as a neurotransmitter, in gastric motility, hemostasis, and cardiovascular integrity.

It weighs approximately 176.2 Da and appears in several body tissues including the central nervous system gastrointestinal tract and blood platelets. Neurons within the raphe nuclei of the brainstem predominantly synthesize serotonin influencing various physiological processes. Its mechanical role involves binding to and activating specific serotonin receptors classified into seven different types each mediating distinct signaling pathways.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nSerotonin regulates multiple bodily functions beyond mood such as appetite sleep and circadian rhythm. It forms part of a complex system interacting with various receptor subtypes which include the anti-serotonergic pathways inhibiting its action. Each receptor subtype leads to different downstream effects in cells contributing to the diversity of serotonin's biological roles. For research purposes scientists often use an ELISA kit to measure serotonin levels and this can influence the ELISA test cost based on the specificity and sensitivity required.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nSerotonin participates in both the serotonergic and dopaminergic pathways illustrating its central role in neurotransmission. The serotonergic pathway is essential for transmitting nerve impulses while its interaction with the dopaminergic system significantly affects mood and reward-related behaviors. Key proteins such as tryptophan hydroxylase for serotonin synthesis and the vesicular monoamine transporter are involved within these pathways and may alter serotonin's functional availability.\u003cbr\u003e\nSerotonin is closely linked to depression and anxiety disorders where its imbalance can lead to mood disturbances. Antidepressant treatments often target serotonin receptors or its transporters restoring its levels within synapses. Serotonin's connection to these conditions extends through its relationship with proteins like the serotonin transporter (SERT) which recycles serotonin in the synaptic cleft. Understanding these dynamics presents potential targets for interventions and anti-serotonergic agents may offer therapeutic options for managing such disorders.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843546108073,"sku":"ab133053","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab133053","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
