Lipoprotein Lipase (LPL) Human ELISA

Summary

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a key enzyme for the metabolism of triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins, and functionally it hydrolyzes the TGs in chylomicrons and very lowdensity lipoprotein (VLDL) in the blood. It is well known that continual hyperlipoprote­inemia is a high risk factor for arteriosclerosis and myocardial infarction. In order to investigate functional abnormalities of LPL in genetic disorders and in secondary hyperlipoprote­inemia, measurement of LPL is very important, and it is also very informative for medical treatment of hyperlipoprote­inemia.
