Digoxin Antibody (103) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Digoxin with species reactivity specific to Digoxin, and is suitable for use in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) applications. Digoxin, a potent cardiac glycoside, plays a crucial role in the management of heart conditions by decreasing the conduction of electrical impulses through the atrioventricular (AV) node and enhancing the force of heart contractions. This is achieved through binding to and inhibition of the Na+/K+ ATPase pump, which results in an increase in intracellular sodium levels in myocytes, subsequently leading to elevated calcium ion concentrations. The importance of this mechanism cannot be overstated, as Digoxin directly contributes to improved cardiac output in patients suffering from congestive heart failure and other cardiac dysrhythmias. Extracted from the foxglove plant, known scientifically as Digitalis, Digoxin has been utilized in clinical settings to stabilize atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, while also normalizing abnormal heart rhythms. With a half-life of approximately 36 hours, effective plasma levels of Digoxin range from 1 to 2.6 nmol/l, making Digoxin a vital therapeutic agent in cardiology. anti-Digoxin antibody (103) is an essential tool for researchers and clinicians seeking to explore the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of this important cardiac glycoside.
