OLR1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor 1, which is encoded by the OLR1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is a known receptor that mediates the recognition, internalization and degradation of oxidatively modified low density lipoprotein (oxLDL) by vascular endothelial cells. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid sequence of 273 residues and a mass of 31 kDa. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and is secreted and is notably expressed at high level in endothelial cells and vascular-rich organs such as placenta, lung, liver and brain, aortic intima, bone marrow, spinal cord and substantia nigra. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally N-glycosylated. Other alias names for this target include LOX1, LOXIN, SCARE1, SLOX1, C-type lectin domain family 8 member A, and CLEC8A.
The detection range for different OLR1 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.12 pg/mL and as high as 900 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
