Estradiol is a steroid hormone produced from testosterone via the aromatase system in the granulosa cells of ovarian follicles.1,2 It is instrumental in the development of secondary sex characteristics at puberty and in the menstrual cycle.3,4,5 Plasma levels of estradiol peak during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle where it stimulates the proliferation of granulosa cells, increases the size of uterine glands, and exerts positive feedback on the hypothalamus, leading to an increase in luteinizing hormone (LH).1,4,5,6 Blood levels of estradiol drop as LH levels increase and trigger ovulation, then rise again during the luteal phase.4 Cayman’s Estradiol Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (Clone RM343) can be used for competitive ELISA and immunoassay applications.
