Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of PLTP in human serum, plasma, tissue homogenates.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is one of at least two lipid transfer proteins found in human plasma. The encoded protein transfers phospholipids from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins to high density lipoprotein (HDL). In addition to regulating the size of HDL particles, this protein may be involved in cholesterol metabolism. At least two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
