Background: Metanephrine and normetanephrine are the metabolites of the catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine, respectively [1]. Cells derived from neuroendocrine tumors (e.g. pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma) are known to produce catecholamines, which are secreted episodically via vesicles into the blood stream [2, 3]. But beside this, a small portion of the catecholamines is metabolized inside the tumor cells to the corresponding catecholamines metabolites - namely metanephrine, normetanephrine (and 3-methoxytyramine in the case of dopamine) - which are secreted at low levels continuously into the blood stream [4, 5].
Principle of the Assay: Enzyme Immunoassay for the quantitative determination of free normetanephrine in plasma. The determination of normetanephrine helps in the detection of paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas. Normetanephrine (normetadrenaline) is first extracted using an ion exchange matrix followed by an acylation process. The subsequent competitive ELISA uses the microtiter plate format. The antigen is bound to the solid phase of the microtiter plate. The acylated standards, controls and samples compete with the solid phase bound analytes for a fixed number of antibody binding sites. After the system is in equilibrium, free antigen and free antigen-antibody complexes are removed by washing. The antibody bound to the solid phase is detected by an anti-rabbit IgG-peroxidase conjugate using TMB as a substrate resulting in a colour reaction. The reaction is monitored at a wavelength of 450 nm. Quantification of unknown samples is achieved by comparing their absorbance with a reference curve prepared with known standard concentrations. Manual processing of the ELISA is recommended. The use of automatic laboratory equipment is the responsibility of the user. This product is not intended to clinical identifys.

Product Notes
The Human Normetanephrine (Catalog #AAA72593) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA72593 ELISA Kit recognizes Human Normetanephrine. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Normetanephrine, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
