Mouse Solute Carrier Family 30 Member 4 (SLC30A4) ELISA Kit

The Assay Genie Mouse Solute Carrier Family 30 Member 4 (SLC30A4) quantitative immunoassay targets ZnT4, a Golgi-localized zinc efflux transporter that regulates vesicular zinc storage in mammary epithelial cells, pancreatic islets, and the brain. ZnT4 mutations in mice cause the lethal milk phenotype, where pups nursed by homozygous mutant dams fail to accumulate adequate zinc, making this target useful for lactation and trace element transport research. Each kit provides a pre-coated strip plate, lyophilized calibrator standards, biotinylated detection antibody, streptavidin-HRP, concentrated wash buffer, chromogenic substrate, and stop reagent sufficient for one complete microplate run. Unopened kit components should be refrigerated upon receipt, while reconstituted standard vials should be aliquoted and frozen at -20°C to preserve immunoreactivity across multiple freeze-thaw exposures. Standard curve generation, sample loading, and detection proceed through incubation and wash steps performed in single-use vials and reagent troughs. The kit is intended for research use only and supports investigation of zinc homeostasis, secretory pathway biology, neonatal nutrition, and SLC30 transporter function in mouse model systems.
