Rat Solute Carrier Family 30, Member 1 (SLC30A1) ELISA Kit

The Assay Genie SLC30A1 rat ELISA quantifies the ZnT1 zinc efflux transporter, a plasma membrane protein that maintains intracellular zinc homeostasis and protects cells from metal toxicity. The kit is specific for rat SLC30A1, enabling selective measurement of ZnT1 in rat-derived tissues without cross-reactivity against human or mouse homologs. Researchers apply this kit to characterize zinc handling in neural, hepatic, pancreatic, and intestinal tissues, supporting studies on trace element metabolism, neurodegeneration, diabetes, and inflammation pathways where ZnT1 dysregulation has been documented. The microplate is processed with 50 µL of sample per well, allowing reproducible absorbance readings across batched experimental cohorts. Reagents ship on refrigerated cold packs and should be stored at 4 °C; bring all components to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation, and aliquot the wash concentrate to limit freeze-thaw cycles when used intermittently. For research use only; not validated for diagnostic procedures.
