Rat MT2 (Metallothionein 2) ELISA Kit (RTES00943)

A quantitative immunoassay for measuring Metallothionein-2 (MT2) protein in rat research samples, this colorimetric ELISA Kit from Assay Genie is supplied in a 96 assays format and supports in vitro research applications. Metallothioneins are low-molecular-weight, cysteine-rich proteins that bind heavy metals such as zinc, copper, and cadmium, and play key roles in metal homeostasis, detoxification, and protection against oxidative stress. MT2 expression is widely studied in toxicology, hepatic and renal biology, and neuroscience research using rodent models.

The plate-based assay workflow provides reproducible results for laboratories investigating metal-binding protein responses to environmental exposures, pharmacological treatments, or disease models. Each kit includes the essential reagents required to perform the assay, along with a detailed protocol. Researchers should review the supplied kit insert for specific handling instructions, working solution preparation, and recommended sample preparation procedures.

Reagents should be stored according to the manufacturer's instructions, and components should be protected from light to preserve activity across experimental runs. This kit is intended for research use only.
