Human Apolipoprotein CI/Apo-CI SimpleStep ELISA® kit is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Apolipoprotein CI/Apo-CI protein in Serum, Cit Plasma, EDTA Plasma, Hep Plasma, Cell culture media. Quantitate Human Apolipoprotein CI/Apo-CI with 14.44 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA
technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA
plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA
protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA
technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips, available in 10-pack (10 x 96-well plates)
-Also available in a fully validated 384-well format.

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.
