Human Solute Carrier Family 30 Member 8 (SLC30A8) ELISA Kit

The Assay Genie human SLC30A8 ELISA kit is a quantitative immunoassay built for researchers studying zinc transporter biology in pancreatic islet cells. SLC30A8 encodes ZnT8, a transmembrane protein that loads zinc into insulin secretory granules and is central to the regulation of insulin storage and release. Common polymorphisms in this gene alter type 2 diabetes susceptibility, and ZnT8 is also a well-characterized autoantigen in autoimmune diabetes, making the protein a recurring target in metabolic disease and endocrinology research.

This assay is configured for use with tissue homogenates and cell lysates, supporting work on cultured beta-cell models, isolated islets, and human or rodent pancreatic tissue. The colorimetric readout is read on a standard microplate reader, and each kit provides reagents for 96 assays, suiting mid-throughput screening studies that compare SLC30A8 levels across treatment groups, diabetic versus non-diabetic donors, or knockout versus wild-type controls.

Assay Genie supplies the pre-coated plate, capture and detection antibodies, standards, and buffers needed to run the full plate. Components should be refrigerated upon arrival and equilibrated to room temperature before use. Reconstituted standards and diluted samples follow the working dilutions listed in the manual, and the kit is intended for research use only.
