ELISA Mouse Lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase (LCAT)

Reactivity:Mouse (Mus muscµLus) UniProt:N/A Abbreviation:LCAT Alternative Names:Phosphatidylcholine-sterol acyltransferase Application:ELISA Range:0.156-10 ng/mL Sensitivity:0.062 ng/mL Intra-AssayCV:?4.8% Inter-AssayCV:?8.0% Recovery:1.02 Sample Type:Serum, Plasma, Other biological fluids Detection Method:Sandwich Analysis Method??:Quantitive Test principle:This assay employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate LCAT in samples. An antibody specific for LCAT has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyLCAT present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjµgated antibody specific for LCAT is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjµgated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of LCAT bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured. Product Overview:Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase is an enzyme that converts free cholesterol into cholesteryl ester (a more hydrophobic form of cholesterol), which is then sequestered into the core of a lipoprotein particle, eventually making the newly syntheQuantityd HDL spherical and forcing the reaction to become unidirectional since the particles are removed from the surface. The enzyme is bound to high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) and low-density lipoproteins in the blood plasma. An unusual feature of the message is that the poly(A) signal appears to overlap the COOH-terminal glutamic acid and stop codons. The protein has several extended sequences of hydrophobic amino acids, one of which is similar to sequences in pancreatic lipase and lingual lipase. Stability:The stability of ELISA kit is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of this kit is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test. Keep the kit at 37°C for 4 and 7 days, and compare O.D.values of the kit kept at 37°C with that of at recommended temperature. (referring from China Biological Products Standard, which was calcµLated by the Arrhenius equation. For ELISA kit, 4 days storage at 37°C can be considered as 6 months at 2 - 8°C, which means 7 days at 37°C equaling 12 months at 2 - 8°C).
