Human Lectin Like Oxidized Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor 1 (LOX1) ELISA Kit

A quantitative immunoassay from Assay Genie for measuring human LOX-1 in research samples, this kit supports investigation of oxidized LDL scavenging and vascular inflammation. LOX-1, also known as OLR1, is a class E scavenger receptor expressed on endothelial cells, macrophages, and vascular smooth muscle cells, where it mediates uptake of modified lipoproteins and contributes to atherosclerotic plaque formation, endothelial dysfunction, and oxidative stress signaling.

Researchers studying cardiovascular disease, diabetes-related vascular complications, and inflammatory disorders use circulating and tissue LOX-1 levels as a biomarker for disease severity and treatment response. The assay accepts multiple human specimen types, including serum or plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, and cell culture supernatant, allowing flexibility across clinical, animal model, and in vitro studies. Reagents supplied in the kit are sufficient for 96 reactions, run on a standard plate and read with a chromogenic substrate on a conventional plate reader.

The kit is intended for research use only. Components should be stored according to the accompanying product insert, and samples should be processed following the included protocol to maintain reproducibility between runs. With broad sample compatibility and a clear read-out, the assay offers a practical tool for translational studies linking LOX-1 expression to cardiometabolic outcomes.
