Human Lipoprotein, a (Lpa) ELISA Kit

Lipoprotein(a), often abbreviated Lp(a), is a circulating particle in which apolipoprotein(a) is covalently linked to an LDL-like core. Plasma Lp(a) concentration is largely genetically determined, and persistently elevated levels are widely regarded as an independent causal risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, premature myocardial infarction, aortic stenosis, and ischemic stroke.

Accurate quantification therefore plays a central role in cardiovascular epidemiology, lipidology research, and the development of novel RNA-based therapeutics aimed at lowering Lp(a). This colorimetric enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay from Assay Genie is calibrated for quantitative measurement of human Lp(a) in research samples, providing the sensitivity required to resolve the wide inter-individual variation that characterizes this analyte.

The kit supports translational research workflows including patient cohort stratification, evaluation of Lp(a)-lowering interventions, and investigation of apolipoprotein(a) isoform contributions to disease risk. Supplied as a complete reagent set with a microplate pre-coated with capture antibodies, it is intended for research use only and is compatible with standard microplate readers used in clinical research laboratories.
