Alpha 1-Antichymotrypsin

Human alpha1-antichymotrypsin

This antibody recognizes human alpha1- antichymotrypsin.

Human

alpha1-antichymotrypsin presents in plasma at an average concentration of 0.45mg/mL. It is a protease inhibitor for chymotrypsin-like serine proteinases, such as cathepsin G in neutrophils and chymases in mast cells. The protein is produced in liver and increases during acute phase reaction. Deficiency of this protein can cause liver disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. alpha1-antichymotrypsin is found in neurofibrillary tangles and senile plagues in the brain lesions of Alzheimer’s disease.
The alpha1-antichymotrypsin and PSA complex (alpha 1-ACT-PSA) has been used as a biomarker for prostate cancer.

Double distilled water is recommended to reconstitute the antibody.
