Description
Product Characteristics: For the quantitative determination of bovine alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) concentrations in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates.
Target Information: Alpha-2-macroglobulin is a protease inhibitor and cytokine transporter. It inhibits many proteases, including trypsin, thrombin and collagenase. A2M is implicated in Alzheimer disease (AD) due to its ability to mediate the clearance and degradation of A-beta, the major component of beta-amyloid deposits. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
