Human SLC22A1 ELISA Kit (HUFI06499)

Targets the human SLC22A1 protein, also known as Organic Cation Transporter 1 (OCT1), a polyspecific transporter localized to the basolateral membrane of hepatocytes. OCT1 mediates cellular uptake of endogenous amines and cationic pharmaceuticals including metformin, so quantifying SLC22A1 supports research into hepatic clearance mechanisms, drug-drug interactions, and pharmacogenomic variation in cation transport. The microplate-based assay from Assay Genie includes pre-coated capture antibody and lyophilized reference standard; unopened kit components should be refrigerated to preserve binding activity through the stated shelf life. Supplied for research use only, the absorbance-based read-out enables quantitative measurement without specialized instrumentation, making it practical for routine translational pharmacology workflows. Each kit provides reagents sufficient for the indicated number of determinations, supporting studies of inter-individual variability in hepatic drug handling.
