Rat SLC40A1/Ferroportin-1 ELISA Kit

This colorimetric Sandwich ELISA Kit from Assay Genie is designed for the precise quantitative measurement of SLC40A1/Ferroportin-1 levels in rat samples. Ferroportin-1 is a critical protein involved in iron homeostasis, where it serves as the major iron exporter from cells. Dysregulation of ferroportin-1 has been linked to various disorders, including anemia, hemochromatosis, and neurodegenerative diseases, making this kit a valuable research tool for studying iron homeostasis and related conditions.

The kit uses a double antibody Sandwich ELISA format. The reported sensitivity is 0.188 ng/mL and the assay range is 0.313-20 ng/mL. It is validated for use with serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, cell or tissue lysate, and other liquid samples. The associated Uniprot ID is Q923U9 and the research area is Signal Transduction. The kit should be stored at 2-8°C for 12 months.

Reported linearity values include serum at 1:2, 1:4, and 1:8 dilutions of 89-101%, 93-105%, and 90-102% respectively; EDTA plasma at 88-99%, 88-105%, and 84-100%; and heparin plasma at 89-101%, 86-93%, and 82-95%. Recovery ranges were 85-101% for serum (average 92%), 87-103% for EDTA plasma (average 97%), and 86-101% for heparin plasma (average 92%).
