| Description | An acute-phase reactant. Increased levels are associated with normal pregnancy, rheumatoid arthritis, and cirrhosis. Decreased levels are associated with hepatolenticular degeneration (Wilson's Disease). An elevated level of Cp is found in patients with progressive tumors. Additionally, as Cp is a An acute-phase reactant. Increased levels are associated with normal pregnancy, rheumatoid arthritis, and cirrhosis. Decreased levels are associated with hepatolenticular degeneration (Wilson's Disease). An elevated level of Cp is found in patients with progressive tumors. Additionally, as Cp is a prooxidant, an elevated level is a sign of cardiovascular disease.Prepared from plasma shown to be non reactive for HbsAG, anti-HCV, anti-HBc, and negative for anti-HIV 1 & 2 by FDA-required tests.Handling: Following reconstitution, store at 4℃. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles, as this will contribute to protein breakdown. Exposure to sodium (in the form of sodium chloride, sodium phosphate, sodium azide, as well as other sodium containing reagents) should be avoided, as ceruloplasmin may precipitate under these conditions. Buffers that ceruloplasmin is exposed to should bepH-adjusted with potassium hydroxide... Read More | Inquire | Purity>95% SDS-PAGEFunctionLipid transport protein in adipocytes. Binds both long chain fatty acids and retinoic acid.

The adapter molecule FADD recruits caspase-8 to the activated receptor. The resulting death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) performs caspase-8 proteolytic activation whichPurity> 97 % by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.FunctionReceptor for TNFSF2/TNF-alpha and homotrimeric TNFSF1/lymphotoxin-alpha. The adapter molecule FADD recruits caspase-8 to the activated receptor. The resulting death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) performs caspase-8 proteolytic activation which initiates the subsequent cascade of caspases (aspartate-specific cysteine proteases) mediating apoptosis. Contributes to the induction of non-cytocidal TNF effects including anti-viral state and activation of the acid sphingomyelinase... Read More |
