Catalogue number
ENZ-380
Synonyms
Phosphatidylcholine-sterol acyltransferase, Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase, Phospholipid-cholesterol acyltransferase, LCAT.
Introduction
LCAT is an extracellular cholesterol esterifying enzyme, lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase. The esterification of cholesterol is required for cholesterol transport. LCAT is a essential enzyme in the extracellular metabolism of plasma lipoproteins.
Description
LCAT Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 441 amino acids (25-440) which includes a 25 amino acid His Tag fused at N-terminus and having a total molecular mass of 49.8 kDa.
LCAT Human Recombinant is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
