Human SGLT2 (Sodium/Glucose Cotransporter 2) ELISA Kit

The test principle applied in this kit is Sandwich enzyme immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Human SGLT2. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Human SGLT2. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain Human SGLT2, 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 Human SGLT2 in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve. Protein Function: Electrogenic Na(+)-coupled sugar symporter that actively transports D-glucose at the plasma membrane, with a Na(+) to sugar coupling ratio of 1:1 (PubMed:20980548, PubMed:28592437, PubMed:34880493, PubMed:37217492, PubMed:38057552). Transporter activity is driven by a transmembrane Na(+) electrochemical gradient set by the Na(+)/K(+) pump (PubMed:20980548, PubMed:28592437, PubMed:34880493). Unlike SLC5A1/SGLT1, requires the auxiliary protein PDZK1IP1/MAP17 for full transporter activity (PubMed:37217492). Has a primary role in D-glucose reabsorption from glomerular filtrate across the brush border of the early proximal tubules of the kidney (By similarity) [The Uniprot Consortium]
