Product name:Human apo-B100 ELISA Kit
Description:
Apolipoprotein B100 is a protein that plays a role in metabolism. It is a form of low density lipoprotein (LDL). Apo-B levels correlate with the risk of coronary disease. Apo-B exists in plasma in two isoforms, Apo-B48 and Apo-B100. Apo-B100 is the major physiological ligand for the LDL receptor. Apo-B100 is a large monomeric protein, containing 4536 amino acids (MW 515,000). Apo-B100 is synthesized in the liver and is required for the assembly of VLDL. It is essential for the intestinal absorption of dietary lipids.
