Rat S100A1 Calcium Binding Protein (S100A1) ELISA Kit

The S100A1 protein is a member of the EF-hand calcium-binding family and is most abundantly expressed in cardiac myocytes, where it modulates intracellular calcium handling, myofilament calcium sensitivity, and mitochondrial energy metabolism. This quantitative immunoassay from Assay Genie is configured for rat-derived matrices and supports research into cardiac pathophysiology, including rodent models of ischemic injury and heart failure in which S100A1 expression is characteristically downregulated.

The assay accommodates tissue homogenates, cell lysates, and cell culture supernatants, allowing researchers to profile S100A1 levels in vitro across cultured cardiomyocytes and to corroborate findings in vivo using rat tissue preparations. The microplate format supports batched sample processing and fits longitudinal studies tracking S100A1 dynamics in rodent models of cardiac hypertrophy, arrhythmia, or post-infarct remodeling.

Reactivity is restricted to rat samples, making the kit a focused complement to broader proteomic workflows that interrogate calcium-signaling proteins. For research use only; not intended for diagnostic applications. Reagents should be handled according to the enclosed protocol and stored refrigerated between uses to preserve activity across the study period.
