Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of LCAT in rat serum, plasma.
Target Information: This gene encodes the extracellular cholesterol esterifying enzyme, lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase. The esterification of cholesterol is required for cholesterol transport. Mutations in this gene have been found to cause fish-eye disease as well as LCAT deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
