Supplier: AdipoGen AG48B1000KI01

Turbo ELISA Assay. Detects human Zinc-alpha-2-glycoprotein. Does not detect mouse Zinc-alpha-2-glycoprotein. Colorimetric assay. Sample Types: Cell Culture Supernatant, Plasma, Serum. Range: 0.9375 to 60 ng/ml. Sensitivity: 0.23 ng/ml. This assay is a less than 1 hour sandwich Enzyme Linked-Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for quantitative determination of human Zinc-alpha-2-glycoprotein in biological fluids. ZAG stimulates lipolysis in in vitro and in vivo experiments. Due to its expression in, and secretion from adipocytes, ZAG is considered an adipokine. Recently, the clinical significance of ZAG has been clarified. ZAG expression in adipocytes is inversely related to fat mass, thus it is intimately involved in the maintenance of body weight in mice and humans. Epidemiological studies have uncovered an association between ZAG and plasma cholesterol. The non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism rs4215 in ZAG is associated with plasma cholesterol and obesity.
