LCAT ELISA Kit (Human)

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay) : 3 samples with low, middle and high level Lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase (LCAT) were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively. Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays) : 3 samples with low, middle and high level Lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase (LCAT) were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate. CV (%) = SD/meanX100 Intra-Assay: CV<10% Inter-Assay: CV<12%

1-alkyl-2-acetylglycerophosphocholine esterase; Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase; PAF acetylhydrolase; phosphatidylcholine-sterol acyltransferase; phosphatidylcholine--sterol O-acyltransferase; phospholipid-cholesterol acyltransferase; platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase; testicular secretory protein Li 24.

Central enzyme in the extracellular metabolism of plasma lipoproteins. Synthesized mainly in the liver and secreted into plasma where it converts cholesterol and phosphatidylcholines (lecithins) to cholesteryl esters and lysophosphatidylcholines on the surface of high and low density lipoproteins (HDLs and LDLs) (PubMed:10329423, PubMed:19065001, PubMed:26195816) . The cholesterol ester is then transported back to the liver. Has a preference for plasma 16:0-18:2 or 18:O-18:2 phosphatidylcholines (PubMed:8820107) . Also produced in the brain by primary astrocytes, and esterifies free cholesterol on nascent APOE-containing lipoproteins secreted from glia and influences cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) APOE- and APOA1 levels. Together with APOE and the cholesterol transporter ABCA1, plays a key role in the maturation of glial-derived, nascent lipoproteins. Required for remodeling high-density lipoprotein particles into their spherical forms (PubMed:10722751) .

The test principle applied in this kit is Sandwich enzyme immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase (LCAT) . Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase (LCAT) . Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain Lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase (LCAT), biotin-conjugated antibody and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm +/- 10nm. The concentration of Lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase (LCAT) in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.
