Dihydrolipoyl transacetylase is the component E2 of the multi-enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC). PDC resides in the inner mitochondrial membrane and catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl coenzyme A. The protein product of this gene, dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase, accepts acetyl groups formed by the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate and transfers them to coenzyme A. Dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase is the antigen for antimitochondrial antibodies. These autoantibodies are present in nearly 95% of patients with the autoimmune liver disease primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). In PBC, activated T lymphocytes attack and destroy epithelial cells in the bile duct where this protein is abnormally distributed and overexpressed. PBC enventually leads to cirrhosis and liver failure.
Bovine Dihydrolipoyl Transacetylase (DLAT) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate DLAT in samples. An antibody specific for DLAT has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyDLAT present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for DLAT is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of DLAT bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
