| Description | Rat Excitatory amino acid transporter 2 (SLC1A2) ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Rat SLC1A2. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Rat SLC1A2 and analogues was observed. SLC1A2 / EAAT2 is a member of a family of the solute carrier family of proteins. The membrane-bound protein is the principal transporter that clears the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate from the extracellular space at synapses in the central nervous system. Glutamate clearance is necessary for proper synaptic activation and to prevent neuronal damage from excessive activation of glutamate receptors. Ceftriaxone, an antibiotic, has been shown to induce/enhance the expression of EAAT2, resulting in reduced glutamate activity. Ceftriaxone has been shown to reduce the development and expression of tolerance to opiates and other drugs of abuse. EAAT2 may possess an important role in modulating drug addiction and tolerance. This Rat Excitatory amino acid transporter 2 (SLC1A2) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate SLC1A2 in samples. An antibody specific for SLC1A2 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anySLC1A2 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for SLC1A2 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of SLC1A2 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured. |
