SLC6A6 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein solute carrier family 6 member 6, which is encoded by the SLC6A6 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to mediate sodium- and chloride-dependent transport of taurine. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 620 residues, a mass of 69.8 kDa, and is a member of the Sodium:neurotransmitter symporter (SNF) (TC 2.A.22) protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and is noted to be expressed abundantly in placenta and skeletal muscle, at intermediate levels in heart, brain, lung, kidney and pancreas and at low levels in liver. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally phosphorylated and glycosylated. The SLC6A6 gene has been associated with the disease, Hypotaurinemic retinal degeneration and cardiomyopathy. Other alias names for this target include TAUT, sodium- and chloride-dependent taurine transporter, solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter, taurine), member 6, and HTRDC.
Some SLC6A6 ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 0.15 ng/mL and as high as 10 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
