Human Excitatory Amino Acid Transporter 4 (EAAT4) ELISA Kit

EAAT4, encoded by the SLC1A6 gene, is a high-affinity glutamate transporter predominantly expressed in cerebellar Purkinje cells, where it mediates clearance of excitatory neurotransmitter from the synaptic cleft. The Assay Genie Excitatory Amino Acid Transporter 4 (EAAT4) ELISA Kit provides a colorimetric, research-use-only assay for quantitative measurement of this transporter in human samples.

Researchers studying excitatory neurotransmission, motor learning circuitry, or neurodegenerative processes affecting glutamate homeostasis can apply the kit to prepared tissue homogenates and other compatible sample matrices. Each kit supplies reagents sufficient for 96 individual determinations, offering throughput suitable for profiling EAAT4 expression across multiple experimental conditions, time points, or disease models.

The assay supports neuroscience workflows investigating cerebellar physiology, transporter pharmacology, and synaptic signaling, with applications in studies of neurological disorders, motor coordination, and glutamatergic signaling mechanisms.
