Rat Carnitine Acylcarnitine Translocase (CACT) ELISA Kit
The Rat Carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase (CACT) ELISA Kit is a reliable and accurate tool for detecting levels of CACT in rat serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. This kit offers high sensitivity and specificity, ensuring precise and consistent results for a variety of research applications.CACT is a key enzyme involved in fatty acid metabolism, specifically in the transport of acylcarnitines across the mitochondrial membrane for beta-oxidation. Dysregulation of CACT has been implicated in metabolic disorders such as fatty liver disease and diabetes, highlighting its importance as a potential biomarker for such conditions.
By using the Rat CACT ELISA Kit, researchers can gain valuable insights into the role of CACT in metabolic processes and its potential impact on related diseases. This kit is a valuable resource for furthering our understanding of metabolic disorders and developing targeted therapeutic interventions.

Intra-assay Precision:
Intra-Assay: CV <10%. 3 samples with low, middle and high level the index were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively.
Inter-assay Precision:
Inter-Assay: CV <12%. 3 samples with low, middle and high level the index were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate.
Stability:
The stability of ELISA kit is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of this kit is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage conditions. Note: To minimize unnecessary influences on the performance, operation procedures and lab conditions, especially room temperature, air humidity and incubator temperatures should be strictly regulated. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same experimenter from the beginning to the end.
