Human Cationic Amino Acid Transporter 2 (CAT2) ELISA Kit

Investigators working on arginine transport, nitric oxide signaling, or polyamine metabolism can apply this immunoassay kit from Assay Genie to measure the inducible Cationic Amino Acid Transporter 2 (SLC7A2) in human tissue homogenates. SLC7A2 is upregulated in activated macrophages, hepatocytes, and several tumor cell populations, so quantitative readouts of transporter abundance are valuable for immunology, liver biology, and cancer metabolism research where monitoring expression across experimental conditions is essential.

Each kit provides pre-coated microplate strips and enzyme-linked detection reagents sufficient for 96 individual determinations, allowing multiple conditions, time points, and biological replicates to be processed in a single plate run. Bound transporter is detected with a chromogenic substrate, and absorbance is read at the wavelength detailed in the enclosed protocol. Reconstituted standards and conjugate should be stored refrigerated; unused strips should remain in their sealed foil pouch with desiccant to preserve binding capacity. The product is intended for research use only and has not been validated for clinical diagnostic applications.
