Principle of the Assay: HSD17B13 ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a polyclonal anti-HSD17B13 antibody and an HSD17B13-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with HSD17B13-HRP conjugate in pre-coated plate for one hour. After the incubation period, the wells are decanted and washed five times. The wells are then incubated with a substrate for HRP enzyme. The product of the enzyme-substrate reaction forms a blue colored complex. Finally, a stop solution is added to stop the reaction, which will then turn the solution yellow. The intensity of color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm in a microplate reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the HSD17B13 concentration since HSD17B13 from samples and HSD17B13-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-HSD17B13 antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by HSD17B13 from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind HSD17B13-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The HSD17B13 concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene has a long and a short form, generated by use of alternative translational start codons. The long form is expressed in steroidogenic tissues such as testis, where it converts cholesteryl esters to free cholesterol for steroid hormone production. The short form is expressed in adipose tissue, among others, where it hydrolyzes stored triglycerides to free fatty acids. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
HSL: hormone sensitive lipase is a lipolytic enzyme of the 'GDXG' family. Plays a rate limiting step in triglyceride lipolysis. In adipose tissue and heart, it primarily hydrolyzes stored triglycerides to free fatty acids, while in steroidogenic tissues, it principally converts cholesteryl esters to free cholesterol for steroid hormone production. Rapidly activated by cAMP-dependent phosphorylation under the influence of catecholamines. Dephosphorylation and inactivation are controlled by insulin.

Product Notes
The Rat HSL lipe (Catalog #AAA720741) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA720741 ELISA Kit recognizes Rat HSL. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Hormone Sensitive Lipase, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
