BioVision Introduces Industry’s Most Simplified CETP and PLTP Activity Assay Kits

MILPITAS, Calif. - July 1, 2014 - PRLog -- Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) is a plasma protein that transfers a cholesteryl ester from HDL to LDL or VLDL in exchange for a triglyceride whereas Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) plays an important role in transferring phospholipids between HDL molecules to modulate HDL size and composition and controlling plasma HDL levels. PLTP also transfers phospholipids from lipoproteins to HDL. HDL plays an important role in lipid metabolism and cardiovascular health. To enhance your research in cardiovascular disease (CVD) & to accurately measure the CETP and PLTP activity, BioVision scientists have come up with the most simplified CETP and PLTP Activity Assay Kits on the market!

CETP Activity Fluorometric Assay Kit II (Cat # K595-100) - 100 assays: BioVision’s CETP Activity Fluorometric Assay Kit uses a self-quenched fluorescent neutral lipid that can be measured when transferred to an acceptor molecule. The fluorometric intensity is directly proportional to the amount of neutral lipid transfer.

Key Features and Benefits of the kit:
- Not only measures CETP activity in animal serum & plasma but also of recombinant protein
- Minimum background
- Includes Inhibitor, Torcetrapib to validate the assay
- Comes with Positive Control (rabbit serum)
- Fluorometric Quantification

PLTP Activity Fluorometric Assay Kit II (Cat # K593-100, 100) - 100 assays: BioVision’s PLTP Activity Fluorometric Assay Kit II uses a self-quenched fluorescent phospholipid that can be measured when transferred to an acceptor molecule. The fluorometric intensity is directly proportional to the amount of phospholipid transferred.

Key Features and Benefits of the kit:
- Not only measures PLTP activity in animal serum & plasma but also of recombinant protein
- Minimum background
