List of 92 human derived biomarkers
Protein category
The Olink Target 96 Metabolism Panel includes 92 proteins categorized into eleven main groups: the enzymes (17), Cell Surface Receptors/Signaling (12), Immune-Related Proteins (8), Growth Factors/Cytokines (7), Metabolic Proteins (4), Adhesion/Extracellular Matrix (6), Neural Proteins (4), Proteases/Inhibitors(4), Chaperones/Stress Response(5 ), Transporters/Carriers(2), and other functional proteins (23). These protein biomarkers were selected by taking into account both their dynamic range in the sample and their closeness to metabolic processes. The proteins contained in the myocardial metabolism panel were classified and summarized by multiple international bioinformatics databases (Uniprot, Human Protein Atlas, Gene Ontology and DisGeNET), including cell metabolic process, cell surface receptor signaling pathway, and cell surface receptor signaling pathway. Phosphorylation and cell adhesion regulation.

Case Study

Proteome profiling identifies circulating biomarkers associated with hepatic steatosis in subjects with Prader-Willi syndrome
Journal: Front. Endocrinol
Year: 2023
- Background
- Results
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by the loss of expression of paternal genes on chromosome 15q11.2-q13. It is marked by distinct physical, endocrine, and metabolic features, often leading to severe obesity. Although liver steatosis is less common in PWS compared to non-syndromic obesity, its detection remains challenging. Reliable biomarkers are essential for early diagnosis and management, particularly given the complex metabolic profile and heightened cardiovascular risks associated with PWS.
The circulating proteome was analyzed using Olink metabolism and cardiometabolic panels, each targeting 92 human protein biomarkers (Table S1). Two samples were excluded due to Olink internal quality control issues. Leukocyte Immunoglobulin Like Receptor A5 (LILRA5) and CXADR Like Membrane Protein (CLMP) from the metabolic panel showed sex-specific differential expression (p=0.046 and p=0.049, respectively). Both proteins were downregulated in males (n=15) compared to females (n=14), with median expression levels of 5.28 vs. 6.1 for LILRA5 and 2.4 vs. 2.8 for CLMP (Figure 1).

FAQs
Can I develop a Focus panel for proteins identified using a technology other than Olink?
Olink data is essential for Focus panel development. Our Custom Development Team utilizes this data during the theoretical feasibility phase to assess the expected performance of the panel before initiating the project.
How is %CV calculated for Olink Target 96?
The %CV (Coefficient of Variation) is calculated for each analyte using Olink NPX Signature software, based on linear NPX values (2^NPX). The calculations are as follows: Intra CV (per plate): Standard deviation of control samples on a single plate divided by the average of those control samples. Inter CV (between plates): Standard deviation of control samples across all plates divided by the average of those control samples. Olink NPX Signature reports the average intra CV and inter CV for all analytes across all plates.
This process ensures robust quality control and reliable performance evaluation for Olink Target 96 assays.
