Used in biomedical research to quantitatively measure levels of human ornithine carbamoyl transferase (OCT) in biological samples such as serum, plasma, or cell lysates. This ELISA kit is particularly valuable in studies related to urea cycle function and liver metabolism. Researchers use it to investigate liver injury, metabolic disorders, and mitochondrial dysfunction, as OCT is a key mitochondrial enzyme involved in the detoxification of ammonia. The assay helps in assessing hepatocyte damage, especially in conditions like drug-induced liver injury or acute liver failure, where elevated OCT levels in circulation correlate with the extent of cellular damage. Its high sensitivity and specificity make it suitable for both clinical research and experimental models focusing on liver health and metabolic pathways.
