Der Kaninchen Monoklonal anti-alpha 2 Macroglobulin Antikörper (Klon ABAO-1) (ABIN7879957) detektiert spezifisch alpha 2 Macroglobulin in WB.
Dieser Antikörper reagiert spezifisch mit Proben aus Human.
Alpha-2-macroglobulin is a protease inhibitor and cytokine transporter. It uses a bait-and-trap mechanism to inhibit a broad spectrum of proteases, including trypsin, thrombin and collagenase. It can also inhibit inflammatory cytokines, and it thus disrupts inflammatory cascades. Mutations in this gene are a cause of alpha-2-macroglobulin deficiency. This gene is implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD) due to its ability to mediate the clearance and degradation of A-beta, the major component of beta-amyloid deposits. [RefSeq]
