LECT1 is a glycosylated transmembrane protein that is cleaved to form a mature, secreted protein. The N-terminus of the precursor protein shares characteristics with other surfactant proteins and is sometimes called chondrosurfactant protein although no biological activity has yet been defined for it. The C-terminus of the precursor protein contains a 25 kDa mature protein called leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin-1 or chondromodulin-1. The mature protein promotes chondrocyte growth and inhibits angiogenesis. LECT1 expressed in the avascular zone of prehypertrophic cartilage and its expression decreases during chondrocyte hypertrophy and vascular invasion. The mature protein likely plays a role in endochondral bone development by permitting cartilaginous anlagen to be vascularized and replaced by bone.

Human Leukocyte cell derived chemotaxin 1 (LECT1) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate LECT1 in samples. An antibody specific for LECT1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyLECT1 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for LECT1 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 LECT1 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
