Rat GAD1/Glutamate decarboxylase 1 ELISA Kit

From Assay Genie, this Sandwich ELISA kit uses a double-antibody, colorimetric format for the quantitative measurement of Glutamate Decarboxylase 1 (GAD1) in rat-derived samples. The assay is intended for research use in neuroscience and is suitable with serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, cell or tissue lysate, and other liquid samples. Standard performance specifications include a sensitivity of 0.234 ng/mL and a working range of 0.391-25 ng/mL, with components intended for storage at 2-8°C for 12 months.

GAD1 is the enzyme responsible for synthesising gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Dysregulation of GAD1 has been implicated in epilepsy, schizophrenia and other neurological disorders, making it a relevant biomarker for studies of these conditions and for evaluating potential therapeutic interventions. The kit provides a reliable tool for detecting and quantifying GAD1 in rat samples across a variety of physiological and pathological research contexts.
