Recombinant Human LCAT (C-6His)

Lipase family. The gene encoding this protein is expressed mainly in brain, liver and testes, followed by secreting into plasma and cerebral spinal fluid. The esterification of cholesterol is required for cholesterol transport. LCAT is a central enzyme in the extracellular metabolism of plasma lipoproteins. Defects in LCAT are the cause of lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency (LCATD) and a cause of fish-eye disease (FED) .

Phosphatidylcholine-sterol acyltransferase; also named Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase; Phospholipid-cholesterol acyltransferase and LACT; is an extracellular cholesterol esterifying enzyme which belongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily.

Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting.It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml.Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Store at -70°C/-20°C, stable for 6 months after receipt.Store at ≤-70°C, stable for 3 months under sterile conditions after opening. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Recombinant Human Lecithin-cholesterol Acyltransferase is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Phe25-Glu440 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus.
