Principle of the Assay: APoC3 ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing an anti-APoC3 antibody and an APoC3-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with APoC3-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 APoC3 concentration since APoC3 from samples and APoC3-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-APoC3 antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by APoC3 from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind APoC3-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The APoC3 concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Apolipoprotein C-III is a very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) protein. APOC3 inhibits lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase; it is thought to delay catabolism of triglyceride-rich particles. The APOA1, APOC3 and APOA4 genes are closely linked in both rat and human genomes. The A-I and A-IV genes are transcribed from the same strand, while the A-1 and C-III genes are convergently transcribed. An increase in apoC-III levels induces the development of hypertriglyceridemia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
APOC3: Inhibits lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase and decreases the uptake of lymph chylomicrons by hepatic cells. This suggests that it delays the catabolism of triglyceride-rich particles. Defects in APOC3 are the cause of hyperalphalipoproteinemia type 2 (HALP2). HALP2 is a condition characterized by high levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL) and increased HDL cholesterol levels. Belongs to the apolipoprotein C3 family.

Product Notes
The Rabbit APOC3 apoc3 (Catalog #AAA728041) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA728041 ELISA Kit recognizes Rabbit APOC3. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Apolipoprotein C3, 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
