GLUT1 Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit

The GLUT1 Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can monitor GLUT1 protein expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of GLUT1 in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie. siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on GLUT1.
