SLC Transporter Assays

Solute carrier transporters (SLC) facilitate uptake and efflux of a wide range of ions, metabolites and nutrients critical for maintaining cellular homeostasis, by coupling transport mechanisms to ion gradients.

Sodium-dependent SLC transporter Assays

These SLC transporters include SLC1, SLC5, SLC6, SLC8, SLC9, SLC20, SLC23, and SLC24 to name a few examples. They are known to shuttle nutrients, amino acids, neurotransmitters, ions and more across cellular membranes, and are being therapeutically targeted for conditions ranging from psychiatric disorders to kidney function.

ION Biosciences’ Sodium-dependent SLC Transporter Assay utilizes ION Natrium Green 2 (ING-2 AM), a sodium-sensitive fluorescent indicator, to detect solute carrier (SLC) transporter mediated sodium influx. This assay kit provides a highly-sensitive, robust, and high-throughput method to measure sodium-dependent SLC transporter activity.

Cation-coupled Chloride SLC Transporter Assays

The SLC12 family facilitates the movement of ions across membranes for cell volume maintenance, salt transport, and neurotransmission regulation. SLC12 transporters are electroneutral, and include NKCC1/2 and KCC1/2/3/4. 

Thallium flux assays have been developed to screen for potentiators and inhibitors of some members of this family. We manufacture a collection of thallium flux assays that could be used to identify modulators of SLC12 transporters.

Product packaging of Sodium-Dependent SLC Transporter Assay by ION Biosciences for SLC transporter screening
Sodium-Dependent SLC Transporter Assay
ION’s Sodium-dependent SLC Transporter Assay detects SLC transporter activity of SLCs that co-transport sodium, such as the SLC6 transporter family. This assay is ideal for hit finding and lead optimization applications in drug discovery, and can be used to discover substrates, potentiators, and inhibitors of sodium-dependent SLC transporters.
