LDLR ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein low density lipoprotein receptor, which is encoded by the LDLR gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to bind LDL, the major cholesterol-carrying lipoprotein of plasma, and transports it into cells by endocytosis. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 860 residues, a mass of 95.4 kDa, and is a member of the LDLR protein family. It is known to be localized in the golgi, lysosomes, and cell membrane. As many as 6 protein isoforms have been reported. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally O-glycosylated and ubiquitinated. The LDLR gene has been associated with the disease, Hypercholesterolemia. Other alias names for this target include FH and FHC.
There are LDLR ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 7.8 pg/mL and as high as 200 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
