Solid phase sandwich ELISA for the detection of Human Lipoprotein Lipase (LPL) in serum, EDTA-plasma, heparin plasma, and post-heparin EDTA-plasma. <br><br>
LPL is an enzyme which catabolizes Triglyceride (TG) in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins such as dietary-derived Chylomicron and VLDL synthesized in the liver and it has an important role for TG metabolism with as the essential factor ApoC-II. <br><br>
LPL is bound by GPIHBP1 or heparan sulfate proteoglycan on the surface of microvascular endothelium of adipose tissue rather than the liver or muscles.<br><br>
This kit can quantitatively measure LPL in human serum, EDTA plasma, heparin plasma and post heparin EDTA plasma. <br><br>
