Human SLC3A1 ELISA Kit (HUFI08459)

The solute carrier family 3 member 1 protein, encoded by the SLC3A1 gene, forms the heavy chain of a heterodimeric amino acid transporter that localizes to the apical membrane of renal proximal tubule cells and intestinal epithelium. Mutations in this gene are causally linked to type I cystinuria, an inherited disorder of dibasic amino acid reabsorption that leads to cystine stone formation in the urinary tract. Investigators studying renal transport physiology, nephrolithiasis, and inherited metabolic disorders can apply this kit from Assay Genie in translational research projects aimed at quantifying circulating transporter protein levels. The assay is configured for in vitro research use only, providing a reproducible platform for examining protein abundance alongside genetic and functional data on cystinuria and related tubulopathies in patient cohorts and cell-based model systems.
