| LTA4H

Leukotriene-A4 hydrolase is an enzyme that catalyzes the reaction which converts Leukotriene A4 to Leukotriene B4.It is a bifunctional zinc enzyme with different amino acids attached to it to aid in the catalysis of the reaction. It also acts as an aminopeptidase. Leukotriene-A4 hydrolase is a cytosolic protein and is found in almost all mammalian cells, tissues and organelles that have been examined.This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on ether bonds (ether hydrolases).
 

| Typical data

As the OD values of the standard curve may vary according to the conditions of the actual assay performance (e.g. operator, pipetting technique, wash technique or temperature effects), the operator should establish a standard curve for each test. Typical standard curve and data are provided below for reference only.

 

Concentration (ng/mL)	20	10	5	2.5	1.25	0.625	0.312	0
OD	2.15	1.67	1.21	0.85	0.52	0.34	0.21	0.12
Corrected OD	2.03	1.57	1.02	0.73	0.4	0.22	0.13	-

 

| Repeatability

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay)：CV% < 10%; Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays)：CV% < 10%
 

| Recovery

The recovery of Human LTA4H spiked at three different levels in samples throughout the range of the assay was evaluated in various matrices.

 

Sample Type	Range(%)	Average Recovery(%)
Serum(n=8)	84-101	97
Plasma(n=8)	92-104	102
Tissue Homogenates(n=8)	96-108	106

 

| Linearity

Samples were spiked with high concentrations of Human LTA4H and diluted with Universal Diluent to produce samples with values within the range of the assay.

 

		Serum(n=4)	Plasma(n=4)	Tissue Homogenates(n=4)
1 : 2	Range (%)	84-95	88-96	90-110
	Average (%)	92	95	96
1 : 4	Range (%)	89-103	87-108	105-116
	Average (%)	94	98	108
