Description
Product Characteristics: This immunoassay kit allows for the in vitro quantitative determination ofratH-2 class II histocompatibility antigen gamma chainconcentrations in serum, Plasma,tissue homogenates and Cell culture supernates and Other biological fluids.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene associates with class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and is an important chaperone that regulates antigen presentation for immune response. It also serves as cell surface receptor for the cytokine macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) which, when bound to the encoded protein, initiates survival pathways and cell proliferation. This protein also interacts with amyloid precursor protein (APP) and suppresses the production of amyloid beta (Abeta). Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
