homocysteineserumCLIA

Product Name: Homocysteine （HCY）Detection Kit（Magnetic Solid Phase Chemiluminescent Immunoassay） Packaging: 24 T/KIT Intended Use: This product is used for the in vitro quantification of homocysteine (HCY) in human serum. Homocysteine (HCY) is a sulfur-containing amino acid in the human body, which is an important intermediate in the metabolism of methionine and cysteine and is not involved in protein synthesis. Homocysteine, also known as homocysteine (HCY), is an intermediate metabolite of methionine, which is produced in the body by the transmethylation of methionine. HCY can also be re-synthesized to methionine by remethylation with the aid of folic acid and vitamin B12, a process that requires methionine synthase (MS) and the presence of N5-methyltetrahydrofolate as the methyl donor, which is produced by tetrahydrofolate catalyzed by 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR). HCY is widely accepted as an independent cardiovascular risk indicator and is a risk factor in addition to hyperlipidemia, smoking, and diabetes.
