These LDL receptor ELISA kits are immunodetection tools for measuring the levels of LDL receptor in biological samples. LDL receptor is an alias of the human LDLR gene, which encodes the protein, low density lipoprotein receptor. Notably, LDL receptor is known to play a role in cholesterol metabolism and homeostasis, among other functions. The LDLR protein is 860 amino acid residues in length and 95.4 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 6 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the golgi, lysosomes, and cell membrane of the cell. This protein is known to be O-glycosylated and ubiquitinated. Other names for this target antigen include FH, FHC, and FHCL1.
Some LDL receptor ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 46.88 pg/mL and as high as 8000 pg/mL. Click on the following ELISA kits for more detailed information, including target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
