Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of LpPLA2 in rat serum, plasma, tissue homogenates.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is a secreted enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of platelet-activating factor to biologically inactive products. Defects in this gene are a cause of platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase deficiency. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]
