Product Information

• Name: α2-Macroglobulin from human plasma
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: α2-Macroglobulin is a proteolytic enzyme that has been shown to have receptor activity. It was first isolated from human plasma and purified by biochemical methods. α2-Macroglobulin is an important protein in the body because it has the ability to bind to a variety of ligands and regulate their biological activity. α2-Macroglobulin is capable of removing excess growth factors that are responsible for cancer cell proliferation, as well as removing excess cytokines that induce inflammation. This protein also binds to receptors on basic fibroblast cells, which may be associated with its function in collagen synthesis and bone mineralization. The x-ray crystal structures of α2-macroglobulin are available, which allow for detailed analysis of its three dimensional structure. α2-Macroglobulin has been shown to play a physiological role in maintaining body mass index (BMI), as well as wild type strains of mice and rats.
