The Quantikine Human LDL R Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed to measure human LDL R in cell culture supernates, cell lysates, serum, heparin plasma, and urine. It contains NS0-expressed recombinant human LDL R and has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant factor. Results obtained using natural human LDL R showed linear curves that were parallel to the standar...d curves obtained using the Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for naturally occurring human LDL R.

Background
LDL R (Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor) is a widely expressed cell surface scavenger receptor. LDL R binds ApoB and ApoE, the apolipoproteins of low- and very low-density lipoproteins (LDL and VLDL), respectively. Hepatocyte LDL R is responsible for endocytosis and clearing of most plasma LDL cholesterol. At the low pH of the endocytic vesicle, it dissociates, allowing degradation of LDL and recycling of LDL R to the cell surface. Lack of LDL R expression or function causes familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). The protease PCSK9 can also cause increased plasma cholesterol by promoting LDL R degradation rather than recycling to the cell surface.
