serum amyloid A–LDL complex (SAA-LDL) is oxidatively modified LDL complexes that promote atherosclerosis. Serum SAA-LDL levels is closely associated with inflammation. The serum SAA-LDL level reflects intravascular inflammation directly and can be a more sensitive prognostic marker than CRP in patients with stable coronary artery disease.
Bovine Serum amyloid A, SAA ELISA Kit, E0023Bo
Function: Major acute phase reactant. Apolipoprotein of the HDL complex. Tissue specificity: Expressed by the liver; secreted in plasma. Disease: Note=Reactive, secondary amyloidosis is characterized by the extracellular accumulation in various tissues of the SAA protein. These deposits are highly insoluble and resistant to proteolysis; they disrupt tissue structure and compromise function. Note=Elevated serum SAA protein levels may be associated with lung cancer. Similarity: Belongs to the SAA family. PTM: This protein is the precursor of amyloid protein A, which is formed by the removal of approximately 24 residues from the C-terminal end.
Rat Sphingosine 1 Phosphate, S1P ELISA Kit, E1593Ra
Sphingosine 1‐phosphate (SPP) is an important sphingolipid‐derived second messenger in mammalian cells that acts to promote proliferation and to inhibit apoptosis.
Human S100 calcium binding protein B, S100B ELISA Kit, E3887Hu
Weakly binds calcium but binds zinc very tightly-distinct binding sites with different affinities exist for both ions on each monomer. Physiological concentrations of potassium ion antagonize the binding of both divalent cations, especially affecting high-affinity calcium-binding sites. Binds to and initiates the activation of STK38 by releasing autoinhibitory intramolecular interactions within the kinase. Interaction with AGER after myocardial infarction may play a role in myocyte apoptosis by activating ERK1/2 and p53/TP53 signaling.
Human S100 calcium binding protein A8/A9, S100A8/A9 ELISA Kit, E4465Hu
S100A9: Secreted. Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm > cytoskeleton. Cell membrane. Associates with tubulin filaments in activated monocytes. Targeted to the cell surface upon calcium influx. Released from blood leukocytes upon exposure to CSF2/GM-CSF, bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and during inflammatory processes. Serum levels are high in patients suffering from chronic inflammation. S100A8: Secreted. Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell membrane. Predominantly localized in the cytoplasm. Upon elevation of the intracellular calcium level, translocated from the cytoplasm to the cytoskeleton and the cell membrane. Upon neutrophil activation or endothelial adhesion of monocytes, is secreted via a microtubule-mediated, alternative pathway.
Human S100 Calcium Binding Protein A15, S100A15 ELISA Kit, E2183Hu
Modulates P53/TP53 protein levels, and thereby plays a role in the regulation of cell survival and apoptosis. Depending on the context, it can promote cell proliferation or apoptosis. Plays a role in the regulation of cell migration by modulating the levels of MMP2, a matrix protease that is under transcriptional control of P53/TP53. Does not bind calcium.
Rat Resistin, Retn ELISA Kit, E0211Ra
Hormone that seems to suppress insulin ability to stimulate glucose uptake into adipose cells. Potentially links obesity to diabetes.
Rat receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand, RANKL ELISA Kit, E0289Ra
Cytokine that binds to TNFRSF11B/OPG and to TNFRSF11A/RANK. Osteoclast differentiation and activation factor. Augments the ability of dendritic cells to stimulate naive T-cell proliferation. May be an important regulator of interactions between T-cells and dendritic cells and may play a role in the regulation of the T-cell-dependent immune response. May also play an important role in enhanced bone-resorption in humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy.

Human Pentraxin 3, PTX3 ELISA Kit, E1938Hu
Plays a role in the regulation of innate resistance to pathogens, inflammatory reactions, possibly clearance of self-components and female fertility.
