Humain SP-D EZ Set™ ELISA Kit (DIY Antibody Pairs)

Sequence similarities: Belongs to the SFTPD family.

Tissue Specificity: Expressed in lung, brain, pancreas and adipose tissue (mainly mature adipocytes). .

The EZ Set™ ELISA antibody pair set contains the necessary core reagents to develop and run an ELISA, including ELISA-optimized matched antibody pairs, recombinant protein standards, and HRP conjugated Avidin-Biotin-Complex (ABC).
The remaining necessary components could be obtained via the EZ Set™ Accessory Kit (ABIN5510802)
The EZ Set™ Accessory Kit provides:
Antibody diluent buffer
ABC diluent buffer
Sample diluent buffer
TMB
TMB stop solution
5x 96 well plates, plate sealers

Protein Function: Contributes to the lung's defense against inhaled microorganisms, organic antigens and toxins. Interacts with compounds such as bacterial lipopolysaccharides, oligosaccharides and fatty acids and modulates leukocyte action in immune response. May participate in the extracellular reorganization or turnover of pulmonary surfactant. Binds strongly maltose residues and to a lesser extent other alpha-glucosyl moieties. .

Background: Surfactant, pulmonary-associated protein D, also known as SFTPD or SP-D, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the SFTPD gene. It is mapped to 10q22.2-q23.1. The protein encoded by this gene is part of the innate immune response, protecting the lungs against inhaled microorganisms and chemicals. The encoded protein may also be involved in surfactant metabolism.
