General description
The plasma protein lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) catalyzes the transfer of an acyl group from the sn2 position of phosphatidylcholine to the 3-hydroxyl group of cholesterol forming cholesteryl ester. This activity occurs on the surface of high density lipoprotein (HDL) and the cholesteryl esters formed by LCAT are incorporated into the core of HDL.
Features and Benefits
- Non-enzymatic determination of cholesteryl ester formation.
- Not affected by LCAT inhibitors or other chemical compounds.
- Dilution or non-dilution type assay.
- Assay components stable for up to one year.
- Compatible with high-throughput handling systems.
Suitability
Suitable for high-throughput screening, mechanism of action studies and structureactivity relationship (SAR) work of LCAT in plasma and serum
Principle
The LCFC-LCAT Acyltransferase Activity Assay is a fluorometric assay useful for measuring the acyltransferase activity of LCAT in serum or plasma. The method detects changes in LCAT free cholesterol (LCFC) levels in the sample without the use of cholesterol oxidase, peroxidase, or the generation of hydrogen peroxide. Detection is not affected by iodoacetate or other LCAT inhibitors. LCAT activity results in a fluorometric (λEx = 320 nm/λEm = 405 nm) product proportional to the amount of free cholesterol present.

Hypertriglyceridemia is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Apolipoprotein C-II (APOC2) is an obligatory cofactor for lipoprotein lipase (LPL), the major enzyme catalyzing plasma triglyceride hydrolysis. We have created an apoc2 knockout zebrafish model, which mimics the familial chylomicronemia
Deficient cholesterol esterification in plasma of apoc2 knockout zebrafish and familial chylomicronemia patients.
