Rat SLC31A1/CTR1 ELISA Kit

Assay Genie offers a Sandwich ELISA, Double Antibody kit designed to measure SLC31A1 (also known as CTR1) in rat-derived samples, including serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, cell or tissue lysate, and other liquid samples. The kit uses a colorimetric detection method and is supplied in a solid phase format, making it suitable for research applications in cell biology.

SLC31A1 is a key protein involved in copper transport and homeostasis, playing a vital role in copper absorption, distribution, and metabolism. Dysregulation of SLC31A1 has been linked to copper-related disorders such as Wilson's disease and Menkes disease, making this assay a useful tool for researchers studying copper metabolism, copper-related disease mechanisms, and the role of SLC31A1 in various biological processes.

Performance characteristics include a sensitivity of 0.188 ng/mL and a working range of 0.313–20 ng/mL. The kit is recommended for storage at 2-8°C for 12 months. The target is associated with UniProt entry Q9JK41, KEGG ID K14686, and Gene ID 171135.
