17-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OH progesterone or 17OHP) is a C-21 steroid hormone produced during the synthesis of glucocorticoids and sex steroids. As a hormone, 17OHP also interacts with the progesterone receptor.
It is derived from progesterone via 17-hydroxylase, a P450c17 enzyme, or from 17-hydroxypregnenolone…

Specification:96TestDescription:
The steroid 17αOH Progesterone is produced by the adrenal cortex and gonads. The 17α?OH Progesterone has little progestational activity, but it is of intense clinical interest because it is the immediate precursor to 11-desoxycortisol (Cpd-S). Cpd-S is produced by 21-hydroxylation of 17 OHP, measurement of 17aOHP…

NAG is a lysosomal enzyme involved in the breakdown metabolism of glycoproteins. Increased NAG levels in urine are an early indication of renal disease and can serve as a valuable renal monitoring test in disorders such as nephritic syndrome, glomerulunephritis, drug abuse associated nephrotoxicity, diabetes-…

Specification:96TestDescription:
Nitric oxide (NO) is produced by a group of enzymes called nitric oxide synthases (NOS). These enzymes catalyze the production of NO and L-citrulline from L-arginine, O2, and NADPH-derived electrons. Mammalian systems contain three well-characterized isoforms of the enzyme: neuronal NOS (nNOS, also called NOS1),…

Specification:96TestDescription:
Osteonectin is a glycoprotein in the bone that binds calcium. It is secreted by osteoblasts during bone formation, initiating mineralization and promoting mineral crystal formation. Osteonectin also shows affinity for collagen in addition to bone mineral calcium. Some current research shows a correlation between…

Specification:96TestDescription:
Osteoprotegerin (OPG) or Osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor (OCIF) is a dimeric glycoprotein of the TNF receptor family with a molecular weight of 60 kD resp. 120 kD which shows an inhibitory effect on osteoclasts and osteoclast precursor cells. Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a soluble”decoy”-receptor and is produced…

Specification:96TestDescription:
The Opiates Direct ELISA Kit is a specific and sensitive in-vitro test to detect the presence of Opiates in samples such as whole blood, oral fluids, serum, plasma and urine. Heroin/morphine abuse is a major problem in society. In the body, both heroin (diacetylmorphine) and morphine are largely converted to…

Specification:96TestDescription:
Osteopontin (OPN), also known as early T lymphocyte activation 1 (Eta-1), is a secreted multifunctional glyco-phosphoprotein with roles in bone metabolism, immune regulation, tissue remodeling , cell survival, and tumor progression .Osteopontin, as indicated by its name meaning “bone bridging”, is highly expressed…

Specification:96TestDescription:
Orexin A, also known as Hypocretin-1, is a naturally occurring, highly excitatory, neuropeptide released by the hypothalamus. As a pharmaceutical drug, Orexin A is most commonly administered as a nasal spray. This drug counteracts intellectual deficiencies and altered brain metabolism, which is found in sleep…

Specification:96TestDescription:
Oncostatin M(OSM) is a cytokine originally isolated from medium conditioned by PMA-treated U-937 histiocytic leukemia cells based on its ability to inhibit growth of A375 melanoma cells. The OSM cDNA encodes a 252 amino acid pre-pro-OSM polypeptide with a 25 residue hydrophobic signal peptide and a hydrophilic C-…
