SLC17A8 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein solute carrier family 17 member 8, which is encoded by the SLC17A8 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a multifunctional transporter that transports L-glutamate as well as multiple ions such as chloride, sodium and phosphate. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 589 residues, a mass of 65 kDa, and is a member of the Sodium/anion cotransporter protein family. It is known to be localized in the cytoplasmic vesicles and cell membrane and is reported to be expressed in amygdala, cerebellum, hippocampus, medulla, spinal cord and thalamus. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. The SLC17A8 gene has been associated with the disease, Deafness. Other alias names for this target include solute carrier family 17 (sodium-dependent inorganic phosphate cotransporter), member 8, solute carrier family 17 (vesicular glutamate transporter), member 8, and vesicular glutamate transporter 3.
The detection range for different SLC17A8 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.156 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.
