Abstract
A method for quantifying remnant-like lipoprotein cholesterol in a sample simply and accurately without requiring separation operations, and a kit therefor are disclosed. A method for quantifying cholesterol in a remnant-like lipoprotein in a sample containing different lipoproteins including the remnant-like lipoprotein comprises a step (1) of erasing cholesterol in lipoproteins other than the remnant-like lipoprotein; and a step (2) of quantifying cholesterol in the remaining remnant-like lipoprotein. The step (1) is carried out under an action of a cholesterol esterase having a molecular weight of more than 40 kDa and not having a subunit having a molecular weight of not more than 40 kDa; and the step (2) is carried out under an action of a cholesterol esterase having a molecular weight of not more than 40 kDa or a cholesterol esterase having a subunit having a molecular weight of not more than 40 kDa.
