Description | Description: Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for Transthyretin(TTR) detection. Tested with WB, IHC-P in Human. Background: Transthyretin (TTR) is also known as prealbumin. It is mapped to chromosome region 18q11.2-q12.1. This gene encodes a carrier protein responsible for the transport of thyroid hormones and retinol. The protein consists of a tetramer of identical subunits. Due to increased stability of the tetramer form of this encoded protein in mouse, compared to the human protein, this gene product has a reduced tendency to form amyloid fibrils. In humans, this protein binds beta-amyloid preventing its aggregation and providing a neuroprotective role in Alzheimer's disease. |
Immunogen | Immunogen: E Coli-derived human Prealbumin recombinant protein (Position: G21-E147). Human Prealbumin shares 81% and 83.3% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat Prealbumin, respectively. Ig Type: Rabbit IgG |
