Rat Elongation Of Very Long Chain Fatty Acids Like Protein 1 (ELOVL1) ELISA Kit

This ELOVL1 immunoassay from Assay Genie provides a quantitative colorimetric readout to measure the rat elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein in cell lysates, tissue homogenates, and prepared biological samples. ELOVL1 is a microsomal condensing enzyme that elongates C22 fatty acid substrates into saturated and monounsaturated very long chain species at C24 and C26 chain length, supporting research into epidermal ceramide synthesis, hepatic lipid handling, peroxisomal biology, and broader studies of fatty acid homeostasis. The kit is supplied as 96 assays preconfigured in single-use wells of a microplate, with reagents and standards sufficient to generate a full standard curve and quantify unknown rat samples on a standard laboratory plate reader. Workflow follows standard ELISA practice: add sample and standards, incubate, wash, add detection reagent, develop, and read absorbance. Samples should be handled according to the insert and stored refrigerated when not in use; protect light-sensitive reagents from exposure. Intended for research use only in laboratory settings, this reagent supports studies of lipid elongation enzymes in rat models of skin barrier dysfunction, metabolic liver disease, neurobiology of sphingolipidoses, and pharmacological modulation of fatty acid elongation pathways.
