The following lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the LCAT gene. This protein has been described to function in cholesterol metabolism and homeostasis and the metabolism of lipids. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 440 residues, a mass of 49.6 kDa, and is a member of the Lipase protein family. It has been described to be a secreted protein. In addition, it is notably expressed in blood plasma. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally O-glycosylated and N-glycosylated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency. This protein may also be known as 1-alkyl-2-acetylglycerophosphocholine esterase, PAF acetylhydrolase, phosphatidylcholine--sterol O-acyltransferase, and phosphatidylcholine-sterol acyltransferase.
The detection range for different lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.156 ng/mL and as high as 100 ng/mL.
