Antigen: human LCAT protein amino acids 132-143
Host: rabbit
Cross Reactivity: (+) human, mouse, porcine, and bovine LCAT
Application(s): WB
LCAT catalyzes the fatty acid transfer from the sn-2 position of phosphatidylcholine (lecithin) to cholesterol and to a lesser degree to other acceptor molecules. This enzyme is critical to the process of reverse cholesterol transport or movement of cholesterol esters into HDL paricles from cells.
