Product name:Human Ceruloplasmin ELISA Kit
Description:
Ceruloplasmin (or caeruloplasmin) is is the major copper-carrying protein in the blood, and in addition plays a role in iron metabolism.Ceruloplasmin exhibits a copper-dependent oxidase activity, which is associated with possible oxidation of Fe2 (ferrous iron) into Fe3 (ferric iron), therefore assisting in its transport in the plasma in association with transferrin, which can only carry iron in the ferric state. The molecular weight of human ceruloplasmin is reported to be 151kDa.
