Mouse Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) ELISA Kit | Lp-PLA2 elisa kit
Mouse Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) ELISA Kit
* Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
* Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
* Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 degree C in the sealed bag provided.
* Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
* It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
Background: Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2, also known as platelet activating factor acetyl-hydrolase), is a relatively recent marker that has emerged as a major, independent predictor of CHD. Lp-PLA2 is an active phospholipase that circulates in plasma bound to LDL, and it appears to act almost exclusively on oxidized LDL to generate lysophosphatidyl-choline, which is proinflammatory and is considered to be atherogenic. Thus, Lp-PLA2 represents an interesting link between lipoproteinoxidation and vascular inflammation, which likely explain its strong, independent association with CHD risk. Data from the recent ARIC study have indicated that the predictive power of Lp-PLA2 is attenuated after adjustment for multiple established risk factors.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
Modulates the action of platelet-activating factor (PAF) by hydrolyzing the sn-2 ester bond to yield the biologically inactive lyso-PAF. Has a specificity for substrates with a short residue at the sn-2 position. It is inactive against long-chain phospholipids.

Product Notes
The Mouse Lp-PLA2 pla2g7 (Catalog #AAA9717345) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9717345 ELISA Kit recognizes Mouse Lp-PLA2. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), 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
