Human Prealbumin ELISA Kit
Prealbumin, also known as transthyretin (TTR), is a plasma protein primarily synthesized by the liver. It functions as a carrier for thyroxine (T4) and retinol-binding protein–vitamin A complexes in the bloodstream. Due to its relatively short half-life (approximately 2–3 days), prealbumin serves as a sensitive biomarker for assessing protein nutritional status and liver function. Its concentration rapidly decreases in response to malnutrition, inflammation, liver dysfunction, and acute or chronic disease states, making it a valuable early indicator of metabolic and inflammatory changes.
The Prealbumin ELISA Kit is a quantitative immunoassay used to measure prealbumin concentrations in serum, plasma, or other biological fluids. In research, it is employed to study protein metabolism, nutritional status, liver function, and the acute-phase response under various physiological and pathological conditions. In clinical and diagnostic settings, the assay is used to monitor nutritional deficiencies, evaluate hepatic synthetic capacity, and track recovery in patients undergoing nutritional therapy or suffering from inflammatory diseases. Overall, the kit provides a sensitive and reliable method for detecting subtle changes in prealbumin levels, supporting both biomedical research and clinical decision-making related to nutritional and metabolic health.
This Human Prealbumin ELISA Kit is manufactured in USA by Eagle Biosciences.
