Rat Glucose Transporter 1 (GLUT1) ELISA Kit

Quantify the transmembrane glucose carrier GLUT1 (also known as SLC2A1) in rat tissue homogenates with this ELISA kit from Assay Genie. GLUT1 mediates basal cellular uptake of glucose across the plasma membrane and is widely studied in cerebral energy metabolism, blood-brain barrier function, erythrocyte physiology, and rodent models of diabetes and metabolic disease. The microplate-based format supports batch processing of rat samples in laboratory workflows targeting a single analyte, and the kit is intended for research use only. Investigators studying altered glucose handling in rat models, from ischemic brain injury to insulin-resistant states, can monitor relative changes in transporter protein expression across experimental conditions and treatment groups.
