Screen, study or characterize stimulators or inhibitors of HDL uptake
Includes unlabeled-HDL for assay validation.
Shelf Life: 12 months
Background: High-density lipoprotein (HDL) consists of a protein shell, containing apolipoproteins A-I and A-II, and a hydrophobic core consisting of cholesterol and triglycerides surrounded by phospholipids and cholesterol esters. HDL transports cholesterol to the liver or steroidogenic organs such as adrenals, ovary, and testes by both direct and indirect pathways. HDL-Cholesterol is removed by HDL receptors such as scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI), which mediate the selective uptake of cholesterol from HDL. Clinically, high levels of HDL has been associated with cardiovascular health. This is due to the ability of HDL particle to transport cholesterol from lipid-laden macrophages of atherosclerotic arteries to the liver for secretion into the bile by a process called as reverse cholesterol transport. MyBioSource's HDL Uptake Assay Kit contains a fluorescently-labeled HDL that can be measured when taken up by cells. Unlabeled-HDL is included in the kit for assay validation.

Product Notes
The HDL Uptake (Catalog #AAA841517) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. Measure HDL uptake in different cell types Screen, study or characterize stimulators or inhibitors of HDL uptake. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the HDL Uptake 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 "HDL Uptake, 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
