The following low density lipoprotein receptor ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of low density lipoprotein receptor in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the LDLR gene. 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. Its subcellular location is known to be in the golgi, lysosomes, and cell membrane. As many as 6 protein isoforms have been reported. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally O-glycosylated and ubiquitinated. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Hypercholesterolemia. This protein may also be known as FH and FHC.
There are low density lipoprotein receptor ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 7.8 pg/mL and as high as 100 ng/mL. Use the search filters to narrow your search and click on the ELISA kits below for more detailed information, such as reactivity and assay sensitivity.
