Human Solute Carrier Family 1, Member 5 (SLC1A5) ELISA Kit

The SLC1A5 protein, also known as ASCT2, functions as a sodium-dependent neutral amino acid transporter that mediates glutamine uptake in rapidly proliferating cells. Because SLC1A5 expression is upregulated by c-Myc and supports tumor metabolic reprogramming, quantitative measurement of this transporter in research samples is relevant to oncology, immunology, and cell biology investigations.

Manufactured by Assay Genie, this ELISA kit is calibrated for human samples and validated for use with tissue homogenates and cell lysates. Researchers aliquot reconstituted reagents upon arrival and store the kit refrigerated, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles that can degrade capture antibodies. The immunoassay delivers quantitative readouts suitable for comparing SLC1A5 abundance across experimental conditions, including nutrient starvation, hypoxia exposure, and pharmacological inhibition of glutamine metabolism.

This product is supplied for research use only. The kit includes a standard curve for interpolating sample concentrations across the assay dynamic range, supporting comparisons between treated and untreated cell populations. Investigators studying transporter biology, cancer metabolism, or amino acid signaling pathways will find this reagent useful for probing SLC1A5 regulation in cultured cell lines and primary tissue specimens.
