Rat Solute Carrier Family 30 Member 7 (SLC30A7) ELISA Kit

The Assay Genie rat SLC30A7 ELISA kit quantifies Solute Carrier Family 30 Member 7 (ZnT7), a Golgi-localized zinc transporter that loads cytoplasmic zinc into the Golgi lumen for incorporation into newly synthesized proteins. By shuttling zinc into the secretory pathway, ZnT7 supports insulin granule maturation in pancreatic beta cells, dietary zinc absorption in enterocytes, and overall cellular zinc homeostasis in hepatic and neuronal tissue.

Intended for laboratory research, the kit works with rat tissue homogenate samples prepared from liver, pancreas, small intestine, brain, or other zinc-handling organs, and accepts a range of biological matrices from rat-derived specimens. Researchers studying metalloproteomics, trace element transport, type 2 diabetes models, hepatic zinc handling, or neurobiology use this assay to track ZnT7 expression changes in response to dietary zinc manipulation, cytokine challenge, or genetic knockdown experiments.

The 96-assay format provides sufficient wells for standard curve replicates plus multiple sample conditions, making it practical for both pilot studies and larger cohort comparisons in rodent models. Each kit includes the pre-coated microplate, detection antibodies, standards, and buffer reagents needed to run the full protocol in-house. Refer to the lot-specific Certificate of Analysis included with the shipment for the validated standard curve range and lower limit of detection values.
