GFAP is specifically found in astroglia, a cell type which is highly responsive to neurologic insults. Astrogliosis is found to be a result of mechanical trauma, AIDS dementia, prion infection and inflammatory demylination diseases, and is accompanied by an increase in GFAP expression. GFAP is an immunohistochemical marker for localizing benign astrocyte and neoplastic cells of glial origin in the central nervous system.

BORIS protein has been identified as Cancer-Testis Antigen (CTA) with testis-specific paralogue of the CCCTC-binding factor. Recent studies have demonstrated that d BORIS is directly responsible for the transcriptional activation of TSP50 (testes-specific protease 50).

Mucins are a family of highly glycosylated, large molecular weight glycoproteins which are associated with many epithelial cells. Muc3 is a major glycoprotein component in a variety of mucus gels, which at a variety of musocal surfaces are thought to provide a protective barrier against particles and infectious agents.

CD11b, also known as Integrin alpha M, is found in neutrophils, monocytes and Natural Killer (NK) cells. CD11b plays a role in chemotaxis, apoptosis and phagocytosis.  It is absent in Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency (LAD-1) and is a target for anti-inflammatory drug therapies.

FANCB is a DNA repair protein required for FANCD2 ubiquitination. Defects in FANCB are the cause of Fanconi anemia complementation group B (FANCB), a disorder affecting all bone marrow elements and resulting in anemia, leukopenia and thrombopenia.

Anti-PDL2 (soluble form) [Z64P2D3*H4]Applications: ELISA IHC WB
Reactivity: Human
PDL2 is involved in the costimulatory signal, essential for T-cell proliferation and IFNG production in a PDCD1-independent manner. Interaction with PDCD1 inhibits T-cell proliferation by blocking cell cycle progression and cytokine production.

ELOVL Fatty Acid Elongase 7 (ELOVL7) is a condensing enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of saturated and polyunsaturated very long chain fatty acids. Highest activity toward C18 acyl-CoAs, especially C18:3(n-3) acyl-CoAs.

WFDC5 is a member of the WAP-type four-disulfide core (WFDC) domain family. Most WFDC proteins contain only one WFDC domain, whereas WFDC5 contains two WFDC domains. The WFDC domain, or WAP signature motif, contains eight cysteines forming four disulfide bonds at the core of the protein, and functions as a protease inhibitor. Most WFDC gene members are localized to chromosome 20q12-q13 in two clusters: centromeric and telomeric. This gene belongs to the centromeric cluster.
