Human Phospholipase B (PLB) ELISA Kit

Principle of the Assay

The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to PLB. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated antibody preparation specific to PLB. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After the TMB substrate solution is added, only those wells that contain PLB, biotin-conjugated antibody, and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution, and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm. The concentration of PLB in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.

Target Information

Calcium-independent membrane-associated phospholipase that catalyzes complete diacylation of phospholipids by hydrolyzing both sn-1 and sn-2 fatty acyl chains attached to the glycerol backbone (phospholipase B activity) (By similarity). Has dual phospholipase and lysophospholipase activities toward diacylphospholipids. Preferentially cleaves sn-2 ester bonds over sn-1 bonds. Acts as a lipase toward glycerolipid substrates (By similarity). Hydrolyzes fatty acyl chains of diacylglycerols with preference for the sn-2 position and of triacylglycerols with not positional selectivity (By similarity). May also hydrolyze long chain retinyl esters such as retinyl palmitate (By similarity). May contribute to digestion of dietary phospholipids, glycerolipids and retinoids, facilitating lipid absorption at the brush border (By similarity).
