Human High affinity copper uptake protein 1 (SLC31A1) ELISA Kit

This Sandwich ELISA Kit from Assay Genie is designed for the quantitative detection of Human High affinity copper uptake protein 1 (SLC31A1), a high-affinity, saturable copper transporter involved in dietary copper uptake. Also known by the synonyms Copper transporter 1, Solute carrier family 31 member 1, hCTR1, COPT1, and CTR1, SLC31A1 functions as a homotrimer and is researched as a biomarker for studying copper metabolism, metal toxicity, and related disorders.

The assay is reactive with human samples and has been validated for use with serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates, and other biological fluids. It shows specificity for natural and recombinant human High affinity copper uptake protein 1, with a detection range of 0.78-50ng/mL and a sensitivity of 0.32ng/mL. Reported precision values are an Intra CV of 4.8% and an Inter CV of 8.7%.

Recovery performance is documented at an average of 91% (range 85-97%) for serum and 93% (range 87-99%) for plasma. The kit falls within the Signal Transduction research area and is intended for research use only.
