Solid phase sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the determination of GPIHBP1 in human serum and EDTA-plasma. For research use only, not for use in diagnostic procedures.<br><br>
GPIHBP1 (Glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchored high density lipoprotein binding protein 1) is an anchor protein that is modified by glycolipid and it has been known that it exists on a capillary endothelial cell membrane and involves with metabolism of triglyceride rich (TG-rich) lipoprotein (triglyceride).<br><br>
GPIHBP1 transports lipoprotein lipase (LPL) synthesized and secreted in adipocyte or skeletal muscle cells into capillary lumen by transcytosis and it binds LPL on the surface of endothelial cells so that GPIHBP1 has an critical role for metabolizing TG-rich lipoprotein.
