APOA1 ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein apolipoprotein A1, which is encoded by the APOA1 gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to participate in the reverse transport of cholesterol from tissues to the liver for excretion by promoting cholesterol efflux from tissues and by acting as a cofactor for the lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT). The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 267 residues, a mass of 30.8 kDa, and is a member of the Apolipoprotein A1/A4/E protein family. It is known to be secreted. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated, palmitoylated and phosphorylated. The APOA1 gene has been associated with the disease, Hypoalphalipoproteinemia. Other alias names for this target include apo(a), apolipoprotein A-I, apo-AI, epididymis secretory sperm binding protein, and HPALP2.
There are APOA1 ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 15.63 pg/mL and as high as 2000 µg/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
