17-OH Progesterone ELISA Kit (17OHP)
INTENDED USE
Human 17-OH progesterone ELISA kit is a reliable quantitative procedure for measuring 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OH progesterone, 17OHP, 17 OH progesterone) in human serum and plasma. This assay has a minimum sensitivity detection limit of 0.037 ng/ml.
BACKGROUND
17 OH progesterone (17-hydroxyprogesterone, 17-OH progesterone or 17OHP) is a C-21 steroid hormone that is produced during the synthesis of sex steroids in the gonads and glucocorticoids in the adrenal gland. Deficiencies are found frequently in patients that have congenital adrenal hyperplasia and this result in excessive secretion of 17-OHP causing the blood levels to be elevated. Therefore, by measuring the activity in the adrenal cortex can be used to monitor the levels that are present in the blood and this in turn plays a significant role when diagnosing patients with CAH, since the typical defective enzymes (21-hydroxylase and 11b-hydroxilase) lead to the build-up. CAH is one of the most frequently inborn endocrine disorders, where a prevalence of 1-20 in 10,000 children can be experienced.
The following assay is designed for detecting various types of applications. 17 OHP is a natural progestin and is found to increase during pregnancy in the third trimester which is predominately caused by the increase in production of fetal adrenal.
