The Mouse GABRA2 (GABA-A R alpha 2) ELISA Kit is specifically designed for the accurate and sensitive detection of GABRA2 levels in mouse serum, plasma, and tissue homogenates. This kit offers high sensitivity and specificity, ensuring reliable and reproducible results for a wide range of research applications. GABRA2, also known as GABA-A receptor alpha 2, is a key protein involved in the regulation of inhibitory neurotransmission in the brain. Dysregulation of GABRA2 has been implicated in various neurological disorders, including epilepsy, anxiety, and substance abuse.
Therefore, accurate measurement of GABRA2 levels is essential for understanding the underlying mechanisms of these disorders and developing potential therapeutic interventions. The Mouse GABRA2 ELISA Kit provides a simple and efficient way to quantify GABRA2 levels in mouse samples, allowing researchers to investigate the role of this protein in neurological function and disease. With its high sensitivity and specificity, this kit is an essential tool for advancing research in the field of neuroscience.

Note: The below protocol is a sample protocol. Protocols are specific to each batch/lot. For the correct instructions please follow the protocol included in your kit.
Step
Procedure
1
Reagent & Plate Preparation: Equilibrate TMB substrate for 30 minutes at room temperature. Prepare standards, samples (minimum 1:2 dilution), blanks, assign wells, and pre-wash the plate twice.
2
Sample & Biotin-Antibody Binding: Add 50 µL standard or sample followed by 50 µL biotin-labeled antibody to each well. Mix gently and incubate at 37°C for 45 minutes.
3
Washing: Wash the plate 5 times with wash buffer, allowing 1 minute soak time per wash.
4
Color Development: Add TMB substrate and incubate in the dark at 37°C for 10-20 minutes until color develops.
5
Stop Reaction: Add stop solution to terminate the reaction. The color changes from blue to yellow immediately.
6
Reading: Measure absorbance at 450 nm using a microplate reader.
