A1-Microglobulin, 95+% Protein

Alpha1-microglobulin is a plasma protein synthesized in the liver. It consists of a single polypeptide chain which is synthesized from the same mRNA as bikunin, the light-chain of inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor. Bikunin is cleaved before the secretion of alpha1-Microglobulin. Alpha1-Microglobulin is strongly associated with a yellow-brown chromophore of unknown structure and about half the plasma alpha1-Microglobulin is convalently linked to monomeric IgA. The plasma concentration range is 20-100mg/L. The function is not known. It has been implicated in immunoregulation and through its translation as a diprotein with bikunin it is associated with proteolysis inhibition. Elevated levels are associated with renal disorders and abnormalities of the renal tubules, elevated plasma IgA. Sub-normal levels are associated with HIV-infection, some liver dysfunctions and decreased plasma IgA.

Small volumes of a1-Microglobulin, 95+% protein vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
