Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of LIPD in rat serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates.
Target Information: LPL encodes lipoprotein lipase, which is expressed in heart, muscle, and adipose tissue. LPL functions as a homodimer, and has the dual functions of triglyceride hydrolase and ligand/bridging factor for receptor-mediated lipoprotein uptake. Severe mutations that cause LPL deficiency result in type I hyperlipoproteinemia, while less extreme mutations in LPL are linked to many disorders of lipoprotein metabolism.
