Rat AMPA receptor  (Glutamate receptor 1) ELISA Kit (RTFI01405)

This Assay Genie ELISA kit enables quantitative measurement of the AMPA receptor GluA1 subunit (glutamate receptor 1) in rat experimental samples used in neuroscience research. AMPA receptors are ionotropic glutamate receptors that mediate fast excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system, and the GluA1 subunit plays a critical role in synaptic plasticity, long-term potentiation, and postsynaptic receptor trafficking.

Packaged as a 96 Assays kit for in vitro laboratory use, the product supports investigations into glutamatergic signaling under conditions such as ischemic injury, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, and neurodegenerative disease models. Researchers commonly track GluA1 levels to monitor changes in excitatory synapse composition following pharmacological intervention, behavioral stress paradigms, or genetic manipulation in rat cohorts.

The kit includes pre-coated microplate wells, lyophilized standards, and enzyme-labeled detection reagents for absorbance-based quantification in a standard laboratory workflow. All components are supplied for research use only and should be handled according to standard biosafety protocols.
