Estradiol ELISA Kit

Estradiol (E2) is an estrogen steroid hormone, it is also spelled as oestradiol, and the major female sex hormone. It is involved in regulation of female estrous and menstrual reproductive cycles. Estradiol is responsible for the development of female secondary sexual characteristics. It is also critical in the development and maintenance of female reproductive tissues. Apart from humans and other mammals, estradiol is found in most vertebrates and crustaceans, insects, fishes.

Estradiol is generated especially within the follicles of ovaries, but also in other tissues like testicles, adrenal glands, fat, liver, breasts, and brain. Estradiol is normally synthesized from cholesterol through a series of reactions and intermediates in the body. Regardless as the natural hormone, estradiol is applied as a medication in menopausal hormone therapy. 17β-Estradiol is considered the true ovarian hormone in women.

Estradiol is a natural hormone in human body, it is critical in regulation of the menstrual cycle, cardiovascular system, neurologic system, skeletal system, vascular system. Estradiol is the most potent and abundant estrogen in women reproductive years. There are four kinds of estrogen: estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), estriol (E3), estetrol (E4).

Estradiol ELISA kits are designed to detect eh steroid hormone estradiol quantitatively in biological fluid. Such as: urine, oral fluid, tissue culture supernatant, plasma, or serum samples.
