The following Phospholipid transfer protein ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of phospholipid transfer protein in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the PLTP gene. This protein is known to mediate the transfer of phospholipids and free cholesterol from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (low density lipoproteins or LDL and very low density lipoproteins or VLDL) into high-density lipoproteins (HDL) as well as the exchange of phospholipids between triglyceride-rich lipoproteins themselves. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 493 residues, a mass of 54.7 kDa, and is a member of the BPI/LBP protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the nucleus and is secreted. In addition, it is widely expressed across many tissue types. As many as 4 protein isoforms have been reported. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally glycosylated. This protein may also be known as HDLCQ9, BPI fold containing family E, lipid transfer protein II, and BPIFE.
The detection range for different phospholipid transfer protein ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 78 pg/mL and as high as 250 ng/mL.
