Human Excitatory Amino Acid Transporter 1 (EAAT1) ELISA Kit

Glutamate clearance at central nervous system synapses depends on Excitatory Amino Acid Transporter 1 (EAAT1), the high-affinity uptake protein known as GLAST or SLC1A3 in astrocytes and cerebellar Bergmann glia. Researchers studying excitotoxicity, ischemic stroke, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and traumatic brain injury use this 96-assay immunoassay kit from Assay Genie to quantify EAAT1 in human tissue homogenates.

The assay is configured for a microplate and provides reagents for 96 determinations, supporting mid-throughput study designs in neuroscience and neurodegeneration research. Investigators tracking glutamate homeostasis, retinal gliosis, and astrocyte reactivity in cell culture or animal tissue lysates rely on this format to compare transporter levels across experimental cohorts and treatment conditions.

Kits are intended for research use only and for in vitro laboratory applications. Components should be refrigerated, protected from light, and used before the printed expiration date to preserve detection antibody activity. Each package includes pre-coated wells, calibrated standards, detection reagents, and a protocol sufficient to complete the full 96-assay workflow.
