Human SLC16A2 ELISA Kit (HUFI08475)

SLC16A2 encodes Monocarboxylate Transporter 8 (MCT8), an X-linked thyroid hormone transporter essential for neuronal triiodothyronine (T3) uptake. Loss-of-function mutations in this gene cause Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome, a severe neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by intellectual disability and hypotonia. This Assay Genie kit enables researchers to quantify circulating MCT8 levels in clinical samples, supporting investigations in thyroid hormone signaling, neuroendocrinology, and X-linked disease research. The microplate-based procedure uses human-specific capture antibodies and is intended for research use only. For best results, aliquot specimens upon collection and limit freeze-thaw cycles to preserve target protein integrity.
