General description

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

Suitability

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

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 (λEx = 465 nm/λEm = 535 nm) from the assay.

Storage Class Code

10 - Combustible liquids

Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) is mainly involved in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism. The role of PLTP in atherogenesis is still controversial. We aimed to investigate PLTP activity in hemodialysis (HD) patients, a population which has an increased risk for the

Human obesity is associated with abnormal hepatic cholesterol homeostasis and resistance to leptin action. Because leptin administration to rodents promotes the biliary elimination of plasma cholesterol, this study was designed to elucidate a pathophysiological role for leptin during the development

To investigate how different formulations of Amphotericin-B (Amp-B) affect the activity of phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) when incubated with hyperlipidemic and normolipidemic plasma at physiological temperature (37 degrees C). Six hyperlipidemic and six normolipidemic plasma samples were collected and tested

In clinical trials, inhibition of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) raises HDL cholesterol levels but does not robustly improve cardiovascular outcomes. Approximately two-thirds of trial participants are obese. Lower plasma CETP activity is associated with increased cardiovascular risk in human

Patients homozygous for Tangier disease have a near absence of plasma HDL as a result of mutations in ABCA1 and hypercatabolize normal HDL particles. To determine the relationship between ABCA1 expression and HDL catabolism, we investigated intravascular remodeling, plasma clearance
