• Reactivity: Human
• Specificity: This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase (LCAT).; No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase (LCAT) and analogues was observed.
• Sequence Length: 16

• Applicable Applications for LCAT clia kit: Chemiluminescence Immunoassay (CLIA)
• Assay Type: Double-antibody Sandwich
• Samples: Serum, plasma and other biological fluids
• Detection Range: 0.21-150ng/mL
• Sensitivity: The minimum detectable dose of this kit is typically less than 0.08ng/mL
• Precision: Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, middle and high level Lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase (LCAT) were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively.; Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): 3 samples with low, middle and high level Lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase (LCAT) were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate.; CV(%) = SD/meanX100; Intra-Assay: CV<10%; Inter-Assay: CV<12%
• Test Principle: The microplate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase (LCAT). Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microplate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase (LCAT). Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. Then the mixture of substrate A and B is added to generate glow light emission kinetics. Upon plate development, the intensity of the emitted light is proportional to the Lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase (LCAT) level in the sample or standard.
• Preparation and Storage: The stability of kit is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of this kit is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.; To minimize extra influence on the performance, operation procedures and lab conditions, especially room temperature, air humidity, incubator temperature should be strictly controlled. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same operator from the beginning to the end.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes the extracellular cholesterol esterifying enzyme, lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase. The esterification of cholesterol is required for cholesterol transport. Mutations in this gene have been found to cause fish-eye disease as well as LCAT deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uniprot Description

LCAT: Central enzyme in the extracellular metabolism of plasma lipoproteins. Synthesized mainly in the liver and secreted into plasma where it converts cholesterol and phosphatidylcholines (lecithins) to cholesteryl esters and lysophosphatidylcholines on the surface of high and low density lipoproteins (HDLs and LDLs). The cholesterol ester is then transported back to the liver. Has a preference for plasma 16:0-18:2 or 18:O-18:2 phosphatidylcholines. Also produced in the brain by primary astrocytes, and esterifies free cholesterol on nascent APOE-containing lipoproteins secreted from glia and influences cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) APOE- and APOA1 levels. Together with APOE and the cholesterol transporter ABCA1, plays a key role in the maturation of glial-derived, nascent lipoproteins. Required for remodeling high-density lipoprotein particles into their spherical forms. Defects in LCAT are the cause of lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency (LCATD); also called Norum disease. LCATD is a disorder of lipoprotein metabolism characterized by inadequate esterification of plasmatic cholesterol. Two clinical forms are recognized: familial LCAT deficiency and fish-eye disease. Familial LCAT deficiency is associated with a complete absence of alpha and beta LCAT activities and results in esterification anomalies involving both HDL (alpha-LCAT activity) and LDL (beta-LCAT activity). It causes a typical triad of diffuse corneal opacities, target cell hemolytic anemia, and proteinuria with renal failure. Defects in LCAT are a cause of fish-eye disease (FED); also known as dyslipoproteinemic corneal dystrophy or alpha-LCAT deficiency. FED is due to a partial LCAT deficiency that affects only alpha-LCAT activity. It is characterized by low plasma HDL and corneal opacities due to accumulation of cholesterol deposits in the cornea ('fish-eye'). Belongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily. Lipase family.
