Related Product Information for CETP Activity II assay kit
Background/Introduction: Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is a plasma protein that transfers a cholesteryl ester from HDL to LDL or VLDL in exchange for a triglyceride. HDL plays an important role in lipid metabolism and cardiovascular health. HDL transports cholesterol to the liver for excretion or to steroidogenic tissues for steroid synthesis. HDL also plays an important role in the reverse cholesterol transport pathway, removing cholesterol from lipid-filled macrophages, protecting against atherosclerosis. Because of this function, CETP is viewed as a target to increase HDL, with CETP inhibition an active area of research and several CETP inhibitors at various stages of drug development. CETP Activity Fluorometric Assay Kit uses a lipoprotein donor molecule containing a quenched fluorescent cholesteryl ester analogue that is unquenched upon transfer to an acceptor molecule. The fluorometric intensity is directly proportional to the amount of neutral lipid transfer. Rabbit serum is provided as a positive control and CETP inhibitor torcetrapib is included for assay validation. This Assay Kit, in addition to measuring activity in plasma/serum samples, is also suitable for testing activity of recombinant CETP proteins.

Product Notes
The CETP Activity II (Catalog #AAA841829) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. Measurement of CETP activity in animal serum, plasma and recombinant protein. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the CETP Activity II for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "CETP Activity II, Assay 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
