Used in biomedical research to measure insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) levels in rat samples, this ELISA kit enables the study of insulin metabolism and its regulation in experimental models. It is particularly valuable in diabetes research, helping scientists assess IDE activity in tissues such as liver, brain, and pancreas. The kit supports investigations into insulin signaling pathways, glucose homeostasis, and metabolic disorders. It is also applied in neuroscience studies, as IDE is involved in the breakdown of amyloid-beta peptides, linking it to Alzheimer's disease research. The assay provides a sensitive and specific way to quantify IDE protein concentration, facilitating drug development and evaluation of therapeutic interventions targeting proteolytic activity.
