Human High Affinity Copper Uptake Protein 1 (SLC31A1) ELISA Kit | SLC31A1 elisa kit
Human High Affinity Copper Uptake Protein 1 (SLC31A1) ELISA Kit
* Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
* Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
* Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 degree C in the sealed bag provided.
* Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
* It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
Background: Copper is an element essential for life, but excessive copper can be toxic or even lethal to the cell. Therefore, cells have developed sophisticated ways to maintain a critical copper balance, with the intake, export, and intracellular compartmentalization or buffering of copper strictly regulated.The deduced 190-amino acid human CTR1 protein is similar to yeast CTR1 and Arabidopsis COPT1, a copper transporter also isolated by functional complementation of yeast ctr1. All 3 predicted proteins have 3 transmembrane domains and an N terminus that is rich in methionine and serine residues; the N terminus of human CTR1 is also abundant in histidines. Northern blot analysis detected 2 major CTR1 transcripts of approximately 2 kb and 5.5 kb and a less abundant transcript of about 8.5 kb in all human organs and tissues examined.

Product Notes
The Human SLC31A1 slc31a1 (Catalog #AAA9714269) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9714269 ELISA Kit recognizes Human SLC31A1. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "High Affinity Copper Uptake Protein 1 (SLC31A1), ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
