ACAT1 (Human) ELISA Kit

Acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase, mitochondrial (ACAT1) has a few unique properties. First, it is activated by potassium ions binding near the CoA binding site and the catalytic site. It also make a unique thiolase by using 2-methyl-branched acetoacetyl-CoA as a substrate. Studies shows that expression of ACAT1 has been associated with manifestations of prostate cancer. ACAT1 is more significantly expressed in aggressive prostate cancer tissue samples. BioVision’s ACAT1 ELISA kit is a sandwich ELISA assay for the quantitative measurement of ACAT1 in human serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants. The density of color is proportional to the amount of ACAT1 captured from the samples.
