Revvity HTRF Estradiol Detection Kit, 500 Assay Points

There is substantial research indicating that breast cancer tissue contains the enzymes necessary to synthesize estradiol (17ß-estradiol), a steroid hormone that plays an important role in this disease. Two main pathways are involved in the formation of estradiol in breast cancer tissues: the aromatase pathway, which transforms androgens into estrogens, and the sulfatase pathway, which converts estrone into estradiol via the 17ß-HSD1 enzyme. The Estradiol kit is a highly specific assay for measuring estradiol in cell supernatants, or biochemical enzyme assays.
