Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of APOA4 in porcine serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates.
Target Information: Apoliprotein (apo) A-IV gene contains 3 exons separated by two introns. A sequence polymorphism has been identified in the 3'UTR of the third exon. The primary translation product is a 396-residue preprotein which after proteolytic processing is secreted its primary site of synthesis, the intestine, in association with chylomicron particles. Although its precise function is not known, apo A-IV is a potent activator of lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase in vitro. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
