Mouse Vesicular Glutamate Transporter 1 (VGLUT1) ELISA Kit

The Assay Genie Mouse VGLUT1 ELISA Kit enables quantitative measurement of Vesicular Glutamate Transporter 1 in mouse-derived tissue homogenates, supporting research into glutamatergic neurotransmission and synaptic vesicle biology. VGLUT1 is a key presynaptic marker used to identify and characterize excitatory neurons in the central nervous system, making the kit useful for studies of synaptic plasticity, neurodegeneration, and neurological disease models.

Validated for use with brain tissue preparations, the kit provides a complete reagent set for running up to 96 individual tests on a standard microplate. Each kit includes pre-coated wells, detection antibodies, recombinant standards, wash buffer, substrate solution, and stop reagent required to perform the full protocol. Researchers in academic and pharmaceutical neuroscience labs commonly use VGLUT1 quantification to evaluate glutamatergic neuron populations in cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum regions.

The assay follows standard ELISA methodology with an absorbance-based read-out compatible with routine laboratory plate readers. Intended for research use only, the kit supports investigations on mouse models of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and schizophrenia where glutamatergic signaling pathways are implicated. Reagents should be handled according to standard laboratory practice for protein-based immunoassays and stored under conditions recommended in the product insert.
