Introduction
Mannose-binding protein C (MBL2),belongs to the collectin family of patternrecognition molecules and is an important component in the innate immune system. MBL2 is a secreted glycoprotein which recognizes mannose and N-acetylglucosamine on various microorganisms, and is capable of activating the classical complement pathway. Lacking MBL2 has been associated with susceptibility to autoimmune and infectious diseases.
Description
MBL2 Human Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single polypeptide chain containing 164 amino acids (108-248) and having a molecular mass of 18 kDa. MBL2 is fused to 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
E.coli.
