2x Biotin-detection Ab (Human BIGH3 Biotin-dAb). PN: B117697B. One vial containing 100 µL of biotinylated anti- Human BIGH3.

Lyophilized Standard Mix - Human BIGH3. PN: HBIGH3AG. One vial containing lyophilized recombinant human BIGH3.

Application: Optimal antibody pair and antigen standard for assaying human TGFBI/BIGH3/BIG-H3. To be used in conjunction with the AimPlex NR Basic Kit (PN: P100001) and a diluent kit. Refer to the AimPlex Multiplex Immunoassay User Manual and kit inserts for the assay procedure.

Storage:  2-8 C in the dark.

Important: Sodium azide forms explosive compounds with heavy metals. These products contain <0.05% (w/w) azide which with repeated contact with lead and copper commonly found in plumbing drains may result in the buildup of shock sensitive compounds. Dispose in accordance with regulations from your institute.

Description:

TGFBI (Transforming growth factor, beta-induced) is a protein that binds to type I, II and IV collagens. The RGD motif is found in many extracellular matrix proteins modulating cell adhesion and serves as a ligand recognition sequence for several integrins. This protein plays a role in cell-collagen interactions and may be involved in endochondrial bone formation in cartilage. The protein is induced by transforming growth factor-beta and acts to inhibit cell adhesion. Mutations of the gene cause several forms of corneal dystrophies.
