Rat Glucose Transporter 3 (GLUT3) ELISA Kit

Researchers studying neuronal glucose metabolism rely on quantitative protein measurements of facilitative transporters, and the Assay Genie Rat Glucose Transporter 3 (GLUT3) ELISA Kit delivers a dedicated immunoassay for this purpose. GLUT3, encoded by the SLC2A3 gene, is a high-affinity glucose transporter most abundantly expressed in neurons of the central nervous system, where it supports the brain's substantial metabolic demand for glucose. Investigators in neuroscience, diabetes, and metabolic disease fields use this kit to quantify GLUT3 expression in rat tissue homogenates across experimental conditions.

The assay is supplied in a microplate-based configuration containing 96 assays, suitable for medium-throughput laboratory workflows. Each kit includes pre-coated plates, detection reagents, and standard diluents required to generate a standard curve and quantify unknown samples by absorbance measurement. The kit is intended for research use only and is validated specifically for rat samples, with tissue homogenates as the primary recommended sample type.

For laboratories investigating cerebral energy homeostasis, blood-brain barrier transport, or GLUT3 regulation in disease models, this kit offers a reproducible method to assess transporter expression at the protein level.
