General description
Reverse Cholesterol Transport (RCT) is the mechanism by which the peripheral lipid burden is reduced by transport to liver and its fecal excretion. The first important step in RCT is the cholesterol efflux from macrophage-derived foam cells present in atherosclerotic plaques. The cholesterol efflux is critical for the maintenance of net cholesterol balance in arterial walls and in the reduction of proinflammatory responses triggered by lipid-laden macrophages.
Application
Cholesterol Efflux Assay Kit has been used in cholesterol efflux assay.
Features and Benefits
Compatible with high-throughput handling systems.
Suitability
Suitable for the determination of cholesterol efflux in cells.
Principle
The Cholesterol Efflux Assay Kit is a high-throughput screening assay that measures cholesterol efflux in cells using fluorescent-labeled cholesterol (λEx = 482 nm/ λEm = 515 nm). It is suitable for serum, isolated, or recombinant lipoprotein samples. It may also be used to screen small molecules for their effect on cholesterol efflux and therefore, may be a valuable tool in drug discovery programs.
