Human Excitatory amino acid transporter 1 (SLC1A3) ELISA Kit

Glutamate and aspartate are excitatory neurotransmitters that have been implicated in a number of pathologic states of the nervous system. Accumulation of extracellular excitatory amino acids can be cytotoxic and may also lower the seizure threshold in epilepsy. EAAT1 (SLC1A3) is a member of a family of high-affinity sodium-dependent transporter molecules that regulate neurotransmitter concentrations at the excitatory glutamatergic synapses of the mammalian central nervous system. The cDNA encoded a deduced protein that was 95% homologous to a previously reported rabbit glutamate/aspartate transporter. The highest expression was found in the substantia nigra, red nucleus, and hippocampus, and in cerebral cortical layers

Human Excitatory amino acid transporter 1 (SLC1A3) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human SLC1A3. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human SLC1A3 and analogues was observed.

This Human Excitatory amino acid transporter 1 (SLC1A3) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate SLC1A3 in samples. An antibody specific for SLC1A3 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anySLC1A3 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for SLC1A3 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of SLC1A3 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

• Do not mix components from different kit lots or use reagents beyond the kit expiration date.• Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.• Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.• Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 °C in the sealed bag provided.• Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.• It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
