| Description | Complement C4 (C4) plays a central role in both the classical and lectin pathways of complement activation, with levels in human plasma ~0.4 mg/ml. C4 circulates in human plasma as a heterotrimer of 205,000 Da in plasma. The three disulfide-linked chains have molecular weights of 93 (alpha), 75 (Complement C4 (C4) plays a central role in both the classical and lectin pathways of complement activation, with levels in human plasma ~0.4 mg/ml. C4 circulates in human plasma as a heterotrimer of 205,000 Da in plasma. The three disulfide-linked chains have molecular weights of 93 (alpha), 75 (beta), and 32 (gamma) kDa. These are readily processed to create C4a, C4b or C4c depending on the processed state. Athens Research and Technology currently only sells the C4c form.Reacts to C4 antisera on Western BlotRef: Tack BF and JW Prahl. 1976. Biochemistry. 15:4513, Tack BF et al. 1981.

It belongs to the group of polyphenol oxidases. Laccase is also present in plants and bacteria.Laccase from Trametes versicolor has been used: to assess the use of four laccase-producing strains in waste water treatment in laccase assay in screening the lignolsSome of the enzymatic actions of laccase are associated with sporulation, detoxification, morphogenesis, melanin polymerization and it offers protection to spore coat. Laccase can catalyse a number of substrates including medicinal drugs and halogenated pesticides. It utilizes oxygen for its catalysis. For these reasons, it might be useful in the biological degradation of micropollutants in wastewater treatment. Laccase catalyzes the oxidation of phenol containing compounds, including lignin, through the reduction of oxygen to water. The presence of mediators will allow the oxidation of non-phenlic compounds as well. The primary function of laccase is to degrade lignin in fungi...

Description: Major histocompatibility complex, class II, DR alpha (HLA-DRA) belongs to the MHC class II family. HLA-DRA binds peptides derived from antigens which access the endocytic route of antigen presenting cells (APC) Purity: >90%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Coomassie® Blue Staining. Description: Major histocompatibility complex, class II, DR alpha (HLA-DRA) belongs to the MHC class II family. HLA-DRA binds peptides derived from antigens which access the endocytic route of antigen presenting cells (APC) and presents them on the cell surface for identification by the CD4 T-cells. The peptide binding cleft accommodates peptides of 10-30 residues. The peptides presented by MHC class II molecules are generated mainly by degradation of proteins which access the endocytic route, where they are processed by lysosomal proteases and other hydrolases...

KGF is an effective epithelial-specific growth factor secreted by mesenchymal cells and distributed in epithelialKeratinocyte growth factor (KGF) is a cytokine found by Rubin et al. (1989) from the culture supernatant of embryonic lung fibroblasts, which is a member of the FGF family, namely FGF-7. KGF is an effective epithelial-specific growth factor secreted by mesenchymal cells and distributed in epithelial cells. Its mitotic activity is mainly manifested in keratinocytes, which can specifically promote the proliferation, migration and differentiation of epithelial cells. It is closely related to organ development, wound repair, tumor genesis and immune reconstruction.Activity definition: The ED50 value is less than 1.0 ng/ml, that is, the corresponding activity unit is greater than or equal to 1 x 10*6 units/mg, as determined by the proliferation method of cultured MCF-7 cells...
