Human LIPC (Lipase, Hepatic) ELISA (Small Sample Volume)

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 Human LIPC. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Human LIPC. 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 Human LIPC, 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 Human LIPC in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve. Protein Function: Catalyzes the hydrolysis of triglycerides and phospholipids present in circulating plasma lipoproteins, including chylomicrons, intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL), low density lipoproteins (LDL) of large size and high density lipoproteins (HDL), releasing free fatty acids (FFA) and smaller lipoprotein particles (PubMed:12032167, PubMed:26193433, PubMed:7592706, PubMed:8798474). Also exhibits lysophospholipase activity (By similarity). Can hydrolyze both neutral lipid and phospholipid substrates but shows a greater binding affinity for neutral lipid substrates than phospholipid substrates (By similarity). In native LDL, preferentially hydrolyzes the phosphatidylcholine species containing polyunsaturated fatty acids at sn-2 position (PubMed:26193433) [The Uniprot Consortium]
