SLC18A2 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein solute carrier family 18 member A2, which is encoded by the SLC18A2 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be an electrogenic antiporter that exchanges one cationic monoamine with two intravesicular protons across the membrane of secretory and synaptic vesicles. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 514 residues, a mass of 55.7 kDa, and is a member of the Vesicular transporter protein family. It is known to be localized in the cytoplasmic vesicles and is reported to be expressed in neuronal and neuroendocrine tissues. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. The SLC18A2 gene has been associated with the disease, Parkinsonism-dystonia. Other alias names for this target include SVAT, SVMT, VAT2, VMAT2, synaptic vesicular amine transporter, and PKDYS2.
The detection range for different SLC18A2 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 15.625 pg/mL and as high as 20 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
