Product name:Human C4BP ELISA Kit
Description:
C4BP is a highly glycosylated and multifunctional protein. It has seven alpha chains, each with eight short consensus repeat (SCR) modules, and a single beta chain containing three SCR modules.
C4BP controls the classical pathway of complement activation. It binds as a cofactor to C3b/C4b inactivator (C3bINA), which then hydrolyzes the complement fragment C4b. Alpha chain binds C4b, the beta chain binds protein S.
C4-binding protein (C4BP) is a multimeric protein, synthesised in the liver.
The most abundant form consists of seven alpha-chains (70kDa) and one beta-chain (45kDa) all linked by disulphide bonds to form the native protein with a molecular weight of 570kDa.
