Abcam's Apolipoprotein CI (APOCI) Human
in vitro
ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of apolipoprotein CI concentrations in plasma and serum samples.
An Apolipoprotein CI specific antibody has been precoated onto 96-well plates and blocked. Standards or test samples are added to the wells and subsequently an Apolipoprotein CI specific biotinylated detection antibody is added and then followed by washing with wash buffer. Streptavidin-Peroxidase Complex is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with wash buffer. TMB is then used to visualize Streptavidin-Peroxidase enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by Streptavidin-Peroxidase to produce a blue color product that changes into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow coloration is directly proportional to the amount of Apolipoprotein CI captured in plate.
The entire kit may be stored at -20°C for long term storage before reconstitution - Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Apolipoprotein CI (Apo-CI) plays a mechanical role in lipid metabolism where it acts as an inhibitor of lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase hindering lipolytic activity. It is also known as 'apo 250' and 'apo atv20' with a molecular mass of approximately 6.6 kDa. Apo-CI is primarily expressed in the liver and secreted into the plasma where it associates with high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL).
Biological function summary
Apo-CI influences plasma triglyceride levels and cholesterol homeostasis. It plays a role in lipid transport and metabolism by modulating the binding of other apolipoproteins such as apo A-IV and interfering with the binding of lipoproteins to their receptors. Apo-CI is part of a complex of apolipoproteins that regulate lipid metabolism working in tandem to balance lipid and cholesterol levels in the body.
Pathways
Apo-CI is actively involved in the lipoprotein metabolism pathway and cholesterol efflux pathway. These pathways are important in maintaining lipid balance and cardiovascular health. Apo-CI is related to other apolipoproteins within these pathways such as apo E and apo A-I. Its function in modulating lipoprotein receptor interactions aligns with the broader mechanisms of these pathways in lipid and cholesterol regulation.
Elevated levels of Apo-CI are associated with hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular disease. These conditions may result from its inhibitory effects on lipase activity leading to increased triglyceride levels. Apo-CI's interaction with other apolipoproteins such as apo B and apo E is linked to its role in the pathogenesis of these disorders. Understanding Apo-CI's involvement in these diseases can guide therapeutic strategies aimed at regulating its expression and function.
