General description

Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) is a protein present in normal human plasma. PLTP transfers phospholipids among lipoproteins in plasma.

Principle

The PLTP Activity Assay Kit includes proprietary substrates to detect PLTP mediated transfer of fluorescent substrate. Transfer activity results in increased fluorescent emission intensity (λ_Ex = 465 nm/λ_Em = 535 nm) from the assay.

Suitability

Suitable to determine Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) activity in plasma or serum (fresh or frozen) as well as other sources of PLTP.
