Applications: ELISA
Specificity: Goat proAKAP4 (all breeds)
Analytical range: 0 to 150 ng
Sample type: Fresh, chilled and frozen semen / isolated spermatozoa

Innovative complete immunoassay to assess semen quality and male fertility in goat  breeds. 

The Goat 4MID® Kit (Ref. 4VDX-18K9) contains all reagents and buffers required for the quantification of proAKAP4 protein in goat sperm. 

This ELISA Kit is the 1st functional test to evaluate sperm quality and male fertility in bucks (all breeds)

The concentration of the proAKAP4 protein is a good indicator of sperm quality and of how the spermatozoa can keep its motility high and efficient  overtimes (Sergeant et al., 2019 ; Bastan and Akcay, 2021).

High concentrations of proAKAP4 help select buck semen with long lasting motility and are indicative of good spermatogenesis, giving more mature, more “normal’ spermatozoa and less tail abnormalities ratio in semen samples (Sergeant et al., 2019 ; Bastan and Akcay, 2021).
