Human APOA5/Apolipoprotein A5 ELISA Kit

ELISA Type: Sandwich. Detection Range: 0.781-50µg/mL. Sensitivity: 0.469µg/mL. Sample Types: Serum, Plasma. Protein function: Minor apolipoprotein mainly associated with HDL and to a lesser extent with VLDL. May also be associated with chylomicrons. Important determinant of plasma triglyceride (TG) levels by both being a potent stimulator of apo-CII lipoprotein lipase (LPL) TG hydrolysis and an inhibitor of the hepatic VLDL-TG production rate (without affecting the VLDL-apoB production rate). Activates poorly lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) and does not enhance efflux of cholesterol from macrophages. Binds heparin (PubMed:17326667). [The UniProt Consortium]
