The NT-proBNP ELISA Kit is a 3.5-hour, 96-well sandwich assay designed for the quantitative measurement of NT-proBNP levels in human serum and EDTA plasma. B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) plays a crucial role in cardiovascular regulation, promoting natriuresis, diuresis, vasorelaxation, and inhibiting renin and aldosterone secretion. Elevated levels of BNP or its inactive fragment, NT-proBNP, in the bloodstream are strong indicators of heart failure and other cardiac dysfunctions.
Beyond its cardiovascular significance, NT-proBNP is also studied for its broader involvement in immune regulation, inflammation, and cellular signaling. In research contexts, it serves as a valuable biomarker for exploring disease mechanisms, evaluating therapeutic targets, and assessing diagnostic accuracy. Clinically, NT-proBNP measurement aids in disease detection, monitoring progression, and evaluating patient response to treatment across various conditions.
