products description :
Introduction: ELISA is a simple and highly sensitive method of analysis that allows for simultaneous and rapid quantification of a large number of samples. The assay is based on the specific recognition of the target compound (analyte/antigen) by antibodies which bind to the compound. The antigen-antibody complex is detected and measured with the aid of an enzyme-labeled antibody or antigen. Upon addition of a non-colored reagent, the enzyme produces a color reaction where the color intensity is directly or inversely proportional to the concentration of the analyte in the sample. This quantitative Sandwich ELISA kit is in tended to determinate LTC4 concentrations in Canine serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, feces, urine and body fluids, and it is only for research, not for drug, household, therapeutic or diagnostic applications!

ncbi summary :
The MAPEG (Membrane Associated Proteins in Eicosanoid and Glutathione metabolism) family includes a number of human proteins, several of which are involved the production of leukotrienes. This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of cysteinyl leukotrienes, potent biological compounds derived from arachidonic acid. Leukotrienes have been implicated as mediators of anaphylaxis and inflammatory conditions such as human bronchial asthma. This protein localizes to the nuclear envelope and adjacent endoplasmic reticulum. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
uniprot summary :
LTC4S: Catalyzes the conjugation of leukotriene A4 with reduced glutathione to form leukotriene C4. Defects in LTC4S are the cause of leukotriene C4 synthase deficiency (LTC4 synthase deficiency). LTC4 synthase deficiency is a fatal neurometabolic developmental disorder. It is associated with muscular hypotonia, psychomotor retardation, failure to thrive, and microcephaly. Belongs to the MAPEG family. Protein type: Membrane protein, multi-pass; Endoplasmic reticulum; Lyase; Lipid Metabolism - arachidonic acid; EC 4.4.1.20; Nuclear envelope; Membrane protein, integral. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 5q35. Cellular Component: nuclear outer membrane; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; intracellular membrane-bound organelle; endoplasmic reticulum; integral to membrane; nuclear envelope. Molecular Function: protein binding; glutathione transferase activity; leukotriene-C4 synthase activity; enzyme activator activity; glutathione peroxidase activity; lipid binding. Biological Process: leukotriene biosynthetic process; positive regulation of catalytic activity; lipoxygenase pathway; arachidonic acid metabolic process; leukotriene metabolic process. Disease: Leukotriene C4 Synthase Deficiency
