Human s90K/Mac-2BP Platinum ELISA

Description: The 90K/Mac-2 BP ELISA is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative detection of soluble human 90K/Mac-2 Binding Protein. The 90K/Mac-2 BP ELISA is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.

90K/Mac-2 BP is a widely expressed secreted 90 kDa human serum glycoprotein, originally identified in the supernatant of human breast cancer cells. It is identical to Mac-2 BP, the ligand for the secreted lactose-galactose specific S-lectin Mac-2 which is highly expressed by cells of the macrophage-monocyte lineage as well as a variety of other cell types. Although the biological functions and possible roles of 90K/Mac-2 BP are largely unknown, some evidence indicates a role in the immunitary defence mechanism.
