Uae of lipase for high-density lipoprotein cholesterol detection

摘要

The present invention relates to a dry analytical element useful for the determination and quantification of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) that uses yeast lipase from Candida rugosa, a lipase enzyme source that has cholesterol esterase activity, which preferentially reacts with the cholesterol esters of HDL over cholesterol esters of other lipoproteins.
