Product Description

Recombinant Human Lecithin-Cholesterol Acyltransferase (LCAT) is an enzyme belonging to the serine esterase family that plays a key role in the metabolism of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. LCAT catalyzes the esterification of cholesterol, converting free cholesterol into cholesterol esters, which are then incorporated into HDL particles. This process is essential for the maintenance of cholesterol homeostasis and the prevention of atherosclerosis. Recombinant Human LCAT has a molecular weight of approximately 60-70 kDa.

Storage Instruction

Reconstituted store at -20°C or -80°C.We recommend that single use aliquots are prepared to avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

Sample Prep Instruction

1. Thaw the vial on ice, spin briefly
2. Prepare single-use or stock aliquots. This stage will depend on your final application so please adapt as appropriate. All our proteins are supplied carrier protein-free. If compatible with your work and you are storing at lower concentrations (<50 ug/ml) adding carrier protein is highly advised (usually 1% w/v high purity BSA or equivalent – ensure all buffers are sterile-filtered).
3. Prepare single-use aliquots whenever possible to avoid freeze-thaw cycles which can damage the proteins and reduce bioactivity. Store aliquots at -70 °C (or -20 °C)
4. We recommend sterile filtering after dilution in media or the final working solution
