Product details:
Human LYVE1 ELISA Kit (ab238263) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of LYVE1 protein in cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, serum, and urine. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human LYVE1 with 4 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

The protein "LYVE1" also known as Lymphatic Vessel Endothelial Hyaluronan Receptor 1 has a molecular mass of about 60 kDa. This protein is located on the surface of lymphatic endothelial cells. Its expression occurs mainly within the lymphatic vessels serving as an important marker for identifying lymphatic endothelium. LYVE1 facilitates the transportation of hyaluronan an important glycosaminoglycan through lymphatic vessels playing a critical role in the maintenance of extracellular matrix and tissue fluid homeostasis.
Biological function summary
LYVE1 plays a role in lymphatic system regulation and immune cell trafficking. It forms part of a network that binds hyaluronan contributing to the regulation of cell migration and adhesion. This protein interacts with molecules like CD44 and other receptors which also participate in hyaluronan binding. LYVE1's function in maintaining the balance of hyaluronan within tissues is central affecting not only the lymphatic system but also immune responses.
Pathways
LYVE1 engages in both the hyaluronan metabolism and lymphangiogenesis pathways. Its interaction with CD44 plays a significant role in the transport and uptake of hyaluronan influencing cellular processes such as proliferation and motility. These interactions link LYVE1 to pathways controlling fluid balance and immune surveillance marking it as essential for maintaining healthy lymphatic and immune function.
LYVE1 shows a connection to lymphatic-related conditions such as lymphedema and cancer metastasis. Alterations or dysregulation of LYVE1 expression can affect lymphatic function potentially leading to the accumulation of interstitial fluid as seen in lymphedema. In cancer increased LYVE1 expression can relate to tumor metastasis where it functions alongside proteins like VEGFR-3 in promoting lymphatic vessel growth and facilitating cancer cell spread.
