Anti-Transthyretin Antibody, clone 7G8-E11-E7

产品说明

一般描述

Transthyretin is one of the three major thyroid hormone-binding proteins in plasma and/or cerebrospinal fluid of vertebrates. It exists mainly as a homotetrameric protein of approximately 55 kDa in plasma and, in sera and cerebrospinal fluid, is a carrier of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4) and retinol. While mostly known for being the transporter of thyroxine and retinol, when mutated, TTR is also well-described as the cause of familial amyloid polyneuropathy, a neurodegenerative lethal disorder characterized by systemic deposition of TTR amyloid fibrils, particularly in the peripheral nervous system. Recently, studies have shown that TTR has an important function development of peripheral and central nervous system physiology, namely by participating in behavior, in the maintenance of normal cognitive processes during ageing, amidated neuropeptide processing and nerve regeneration. Additionally, it has been proposed that TTR is neuroprotective in Alzheimer′s disease, by preventing the formation of amyloid beta fibrils (Fleming C.E. et al.
