Tecan IBL Mac-2 Binding Protein (Mac-2bp) Overview
General Characteristics:
- Alternative Name: Mac-2 binding protein (Mac-2bp), also known as 90K.
- Structure and Function: Mac-2bp is a heavily N-glycosylated, secreted protein that interacts with Galectin-3, facilitating homotypic cell-cell interactions and regulating cell adhesion.
Clinical Relevance:
- Disease Association: Elevated levels of Mac-2bp in the blood have been linked to various cancers and chronic liver diseases, including Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH). Its elevated levels can serve as a biomarker for these conditions.
Research and Diagnostic Tools:
- ELISA Kit: An ELISA kit designed to measure the concentration of mouse Mac-2bp is available. This kit provides a means to quantify Mac-2bp levels in research settings and potentially in diagnostic applications related to cancer and liver diseases.
Summary
- Amyloid-β (Aβ) 42: The ELISA kit with the 24B3 antibody is designed for detecting a specific toxic Aβ conformer involved in Alzheimer's disease. This tool is vital for research into AD and for potentially monitoring disease progression.
- Mac-2bp: The ELISA kit for measuring Mac-2bp concentration in mouse samples helps in studying its role as a biomarker in various cancers and chronic liver diseases.
