Peptide YY (human) ELISA Kit

• Sensitive measurement of PYY, detecting as little as 18.75 pg/ml
• Negligible reactivity from similar peptides
• High throughput format with results in 3.5 hrs
• Fully quantitative results that surpass semi-quantitative Western blot analysis

The Peptide YY ELISA kit is a colorimetric immunometric immunoassay kit with results in 3.5 hrs.

Peptide YY (PYY) is a short 36 aa peptide released by cells in the ileum and colon in response to feeding, co-secreted with glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). In the blood and guts, PYY acts to reduce appetite. However, when injected into the CNS, PYY increases appetite. PYY plays an important role in everyday regulation of food intake.
