CheKine™ Mirco Lipase (LPS) Activity Assay Kit - 48 T

Lipase (LPS), also known as glycerol ester hydrolase, catalyzes the hydrolysis of triglycerides to produce free fatty acids and glycerol (or di- and mono-glycerides). LPS is widely distributed in various organisms. Elevated levels of LPS in the serum are commonly observed in pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. CheKine™ Micro Acid Phosphatase (ACP) Activity Assay Kit provides a simple, convenient, and rapid method for detecting LPS activity, applicable to samples such as animal and plant tissues, cells, serum, and plasma. It works by having LPS catalyze the hydrolysis of oil esters into fatty acids, and by measuring the rate of fatty acid production using the copper soap method, the LPS activity can be calculated.
