Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of SLPI in rat serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates.
Target Information: This gene encodes a secreted inhibitor which protects epithelial tissues from serine proteases. It is found in various secretions including seminal plasma, cervical mucus, and bronchial secretions, and has affinity for trypsin, leukocyte elastase, and cathepsin G. Its inhibitory effect contributes to the immune response by protecting epithelial surfaces from attack by endogenous proteolytic enzymes\, the protein is also thought to have broad-spectrum anti-biotic activity.
