Hamster Lipase A, Lysosomal Acid ELISA Kit
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes lipase A, the lysosomal acid lipase (also known as cholesterol ester hydrolase). This enzyme functions in the lysosome to catalyze the hydrolysis of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides. Mutations in this gene can result in Wolman disease and cholesteryl ester storage disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]
Uniprot Description
LIPA: Crucial for the intracellular hydrolysis of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides that have been internalized via receptor- mediated endocytosis of lipoprotein particles. Important in mediating the effect of LDL (low density lipoprotein) uptake on suppression of hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase and activation of endogenous cellular cholesteryl ester formation. Defects in LIPA are the cause of Wolman disease (WOD). WOD is a severe manifestation of LIPA deficiency, leading to the accumulation of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides in most tissues of the body. WOD occurs in infancy and is nearly always fatal before the age of 1 year. Defects in LIPA are the cause of cholesteryl ester storage disease (CESD). CESD is a mild manifestation of LIPA deficiency, leading to the accumulation of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides in most tissues of the body. It is characterized by late-onset. Belongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily. Lipase family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The Hamster LIPA lipa (Catalog #AAA091879) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA091879 ELISA Kit recognizes Hamster LIPA. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Lipase A, Lysosomal Acid, 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
