Rat Glutamate Receptor, Ionotropic, N-Methyl-D-Aspartate 1 (GRIN1) ELISA Kit

Built for researchers studying NMDA-type glutamate receptor biology in rat models, this ELISA Kit from Assay Genie delivers quantitative measurement of the GRIN1 (NR1) subunit in tissue homogenates, cell lysates, and assorted biological samples. As the obligatory subunit that defines functional NMDA receptor channels, NR1 expression changes can be monitored in vitro as a proxy for altered glutamatergic signaling. The colorimetric immunoassay workflow gives laboratories a reproducible tool to track subunit levels across neural tissue and cell-based preparations, supporting investigations of synaptic plasticity, excitotoxic injury, and CNS pharmacology. Standard kit components include pre-coated microplate wells, detection antibodies, calibrators, and assay buffers sufficient for 96 determinations per plate. Intended for research use only, the kit pairs with common plate-reader instrumentation and integrates into existing laboratory workflows without specialized equipment.
