The quantitative human EAAT5 (glycosylated) sandwich ELISA kit is designed to detect human excitatory amino acid transporter 5 (EAAT5) levels. EAAT5 is a glutamate transporter primarily expressed in the retina, where it plays a critical role in regulating glutamate levels at synapses. It contributes to synaptic transmission and protects retinal neurons from excitotoxicity. The kit is suitable for various biological samples such as tissue homogenates. Its sensitivity is 0.132 ng/mL, which can accurately detect low concentrations of EAAT5 in the sample.
The quantitative human EAAT5 (glycosylated) sandwich ELISA kit is valuable for researchers investigating retinal diseases, such as glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy, where glutamate homeostasis is disrupted. By quantifying EAAT5 levels, researchers can gain insights into the role of this transporter in disease pathogenesis and explore potential therapeutic interventions.
