Description
  • Immunogen: Full-length variant TTR.
  • Host: Mouse
  • Clonality: Monoclonal
  • Purity: Affinity purified in PBS pH 7.4.
  • Format: Lyophilized

  • Transthyretin is a carrier protein in plasma of the thyroid hormone. This protein forms a complex with retinol-binding protein and it has the capability of forming amyloid fibrils. 25% of individuals older than 80 years are affected by senile systemic amyloidosis and most cases of TTR-associated amyloidosis are linked to point mutations. A substitution of valine for methionine at position 30 of the 127-aa-long polypeptide is one of the most common forms, leading to many symptoms in the peripheral nervous system, a familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy.This monoclonal IgG1 antibody is amyloid specific for human Transthyretin. Detects the N-terminal fragment TTR-1-48 frequently formed in vivo.
