Mouse Lysophosphatidylcholine Acyltransferase 1 (LPCAT1) ELISA Kit

The Assay Genie mouse LPCAT1 ELISA kit enables quantitative measurement of lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 1, an endoplasmic reticulum-resident acyltransferase that catalyzes the addition of saturated acyl groups to lysophosphatidylcholine to generate phosphatidylcholine via the Lands cycle. The enzyme supplies the disaturated phosphatidylcholine required for pulmonary surfactant production in alveolar type II cells, and altered LPCAT1 activity has been linked to lipid droplet accumulation, hepatic steatosis, and tumor progression in murine models. Scientists studying lipid metabolism, respiratory biology, hepatology, or oncology can apply the kit to murine tissue homogenates and supernatant fractions derived from cultured cells to monitor enzyme levels under dietary, genetic, or pharmacological interventions. The kit is provided as a complete set containing pre-coated microplate strips, lyophilized reference standards, biotinylated detection reagent, and substrate solution for absorbance-based readout on a standard microplate reader. Intended for research use only; store reagents refrigerated and protect from light until the kit expiration date to preserve activity across downstream applications.
