Mouse Solute Carrier Family 30, Member 3 (SLC30A3) ELISA Kit

Quantify mouse SLC30A3 (ZnT3) protein expression using the Assay Genie ELISA Kit, which delivers an absorbance-based microplate readout and works with tissue homogenates from murine specimens. SLC30A3 concentrates zinc into presynaptic vesicles of glutamatergic neurons, particularly within the hippocampus, cerebral cortex, and olfactory bulb, making this kit relevant for studies of synaptic zinc signaling, neuronal excitability, and trace metal homeostasis.

The assay supports investigations into neurodegenerative disease models (including Alzheimer's-related amyloid pathology and tau dysfunction), traumatic brain injury, and behavioral neuroscience paradigms. The capture-and-detector antibody pairing recognizes epitopes on the murine ZnT3 protein, allowing comparison of expression levels across transgenic strains, knockouts, and wild-type controls.

Each kit provides reagents sufficient for 96 individual determinations in a single-use microplate configuration. Researchers preparing brain region microdissections, subcellular fractionations, or whole-tissue lysates can use the assay to track changes in ZnT3 abundance under pharmacological, genetic, or environmental manipulations. The procedure follows standard immunoassay incubation and wash steps compatible with automated plate washers and standard laboratory microplate readers.
