Human Solute Carrier Family 1, Member 5 (SLC1A5) ELISA Kit

Principle of the Assay

The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to SLC1A5. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody preparation specific to SLC1A5. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After the TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain SLC1A5, biotin-conjugated antibody, and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution, and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm. The concentration of SLC1A5 in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.

For Use with serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Target Information

Sodium-dependent amino acids transporter that has a broad substrate specificity, with a preference for zwitterionic amino acids. It accepts as substrates all neutral amino acids, including glutamine, asparagine, and branched-chain and aromatic amino acids, and excludes methylated, anionic, and cationic amino acids (PubMed:8702519, PubMed:29872227). Through binding of the fusogenic protein syncytin-1/ERVW-1 may mediate trophoblasts syncytialization, the spontaneous fusion of their plasma membranes, an essential process in placental development (PubMed:10708449, PubMed:23492904).

Performance Characteristics

REPEATABILITY	Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, middle, and high-level SLC1A5 were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively. Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): 3 samples with low, middle, and high-level SLC1A5 were tested on 3 different plates, with 8 replicates in each plate. CV(%) = SD/meanX100 Intra-Assay: CV<10% Inter-Assay: CV<12%
SENSITIVITY	The minimum detectable dose was 0.112ng/mL.
ASSAY RANGE	0.312-20ng/mL
SPECIFICITY	This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for the detection of SLC1A5. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between SLC1A5 and analogs was observed. Note: Limited by current skills and knowledge, it is impossible to perform all possible cross-reactivity detection tests between SLC1A5 and all analogs, therefore, cross reactivity may still exist.
