Rat Cholinergic Receptor, Nicotinic, Alpha 1 (CHRNa1) ELISA Kit

Quantitative analysis of cholinergic receptor alpha 1 subunit expression in rat-derived samples is supported by this immunoassay from Assay Genie. The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alpha 1 is a key marker in neuromuscular junction biology, and altered levels have been documented in studies of myasthenia gravis, congenital myasthenic syndromes, and motor neuron dysfunction. Investigators studying autonomic ganglia, skeletal muscle physiology, or peripheral cholinergic signaling use this kit to profile receptor density in tissue homogenates.

Application areas extend to neuropharmacology research on nicotinic ligands, behavioral neuroscience models of addiction, and investigations into the cholinergic contribution to cognition and neurodegeneration. Researchers comparing wild-type and knockout rat strains, or evaluating pharmacological interventions targeting neuromuscular transmission, will find the assay appropriate for hypothesis-driven studies and high-throughput screening workflows.

For research use only, the reagents are supplied in a kit format ready for immediate use upon receipt. Each component is quality-controlled to support reproducible data across experimental runs, and the protocol is compatible with standard plate-reader instrumentation commonly found in laboratory settings.
