Human Vesicular acetylcholine transporter (SLC18A3) ELISA Kit

SLC18A3transports acetylcholine into secretory vesicles for release into the extracellular space. Acetylcholine transport utilizes a proton gradient established by a vacuolar ATPase. the human vesicular acetylcholine transporter is encoded by a sequence contained uninterrupted within the first intron of the gene for choline acetyltransferase, the enzyme required for acetylcholine biosynthesis in the peripheral and central cholinergic nervous systems. Thus, the VACHT gene is located at 10q11.2. Transcription of VACHT and CHAT mRNA from the same or contiguous promoters within the single regulatory locus provides a previously undescribed genetic mechanism for coordinate regulation of 2 proteins whose expression is required to establish a mammalian neuronal phenotype.

Human Vesicular acetylcholine transporter (SLC18A3) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human SLC18A3. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human SLC18A3 and analogues was observed.

This Human Vesicular acetylcholine transporter (SLC18A3) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate SLC18A3 in samples. An antibody specific for SLC18A3 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anySLC18A3 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for SLC18A3 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 SLC18A3 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.
