Mouse Slc18a1 (Solute Carrier Family 18,Member 1) ELISA Kit (MOES01760)

The mouse Slc18a1 gene encodes vesicular monoamine transporter 1 (VMAT1), a transmembrane protein that packages monoamine neurotransmitters into synaptic vesicles for storage and release. Quantifying VMAT1 levels supports investigations into monoaminergic signaling pathways, neuroendocrine function, and models of movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease.

Assay Genie supplies this reagent in vials sufficient for 96 determinations, with all components intended for research use only. Store unopened kit contents refrigerated and protect from light; avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve capture antibody activity. Allow standards and samples to equilibrate to room temperature before initiating the ELISA workflow, and prepare serial dilutions in duplicate for accurate quantitation across the standard curve.

Researchers examining vesicular transport pharmacology, catecholamine handling in adrenal chromaffin cells, or transporter regulation in neuroblastoma models will find this microplate-based assay applicable to mouse tissue homogenates and cell lysate preparations.
