Rat GLT-1 (Excitatory amino acid transporter 2) ELISA Kit

ELISA Type: Sandwich ELISA, Double Antibody. Detection Range: 31.25-2000µg/mL. Sensitivity: 18.75µg/mL. Sample Types: Serum, Plasma, Cell Culture Supernatant, cell or tissue lysate, Other liquid samples. Protein function: Sodium-dependent, high-affinity amino acid transporter that mediates the uptake of L-glutamate and also L-aspartate and D-aspartate (PubMed:1448170, PubMed:7913472). Functions as a symporter that transports one amino acid molecule together with two or three Na(+) ions and one proton, in parallel with the counter-transport of one K(+) ion (PubMed:1448170). Mediates Cl(-) flux that is not coupled to amino acid transport, this avoids the accumulation of negative charges due to aspartate and Na(+) symport. Essential for the rapid removal of released glutamate from the synaptic cleft, and for terminating the postsynaptic action of glutamate. [The UniProt Consortium]
