Rat Cationic Amino Acid Transporter 2 ELISA Kit

This quantitative Sandwich ELISA from Antibodies.com enables precise measurement of Cationic Amino Acid Transporter 2 (SLC7A2) protein levels in rat tissue homogenates and cell lysates. SLC7A2 is a transmembrane transporter responsible for sodium-independent uptake of arginine, lysine, and ornithine, and its dysregulation has been linked to inflammatory signaling, vascular dysfunction, and altered nitric oxide synthesis in cardiovascular and hepatic research models.

Each kit contains reagents sufficient for one 96T plate run, including pre-coated wells, lyophilized standards, biotinylated detection antibody, streptavidin-HRP conjugate, substrate solution, and wash buffer. A 100 uL sample volume is required per well, with standards reconstituted and run in serial dilution to generate a standard curve. Researchers should store reconstituted components at 4 degrees C for short-term use and aliquot standards for freezing below -20 degrees C to prevent repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

The assay is calibrated for rat-specific detection with no significant cross-reactivity reported against related cationic amino acid transporters, supporting longitudinal expression studies in cardiovascular biology, hepatic amino acid metabolism, and inflammatory disease modeling. Intended for in vitro research use only.
