Product details:
Human CFHR2 SimpleStep ELISA® kit is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of CFHR2 protein in Serum, EDTA Plasma, Cit Plasma, Hep Plasma. Quantitate Human CFHR2 with 5.217 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

CFHL2 also known as Complement Factor H-Related 2 is a small protein with a mass of approximately 29 kDa. It belongs to the family of complement factor H-related proteins. This protein is expressed predominantly in the liver and also in several other tissues including the blood. Its mechanical function involves binding to certain molecules in the extracellular matrix and surfaces which affects the regulation of the complement system.
Biological function summary
CFHL2 plays a role in the immune system by participating in the regulation of the complement activation. It does not operate alone but is part of a group of proteins that modulate the complement system which helps clear pathogens from an organism. CFHL2 can act by competing with complement factor H potentially altering the activity of the complement system and influencing immune responses.
Pathways
CFHL2 interacts with the alternative pathway of the complement system. This pathway is one of three that facilitate the complement system an important part of innate immunity. Its interaction with complement factor H influences the level of activity within this pathway impacting how the body responds to pathogens. CFHL2 in this way indirectly connects to other proteins regulating the immune response.
CFHL2 has been associated with age-related macular degeneration and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome. In these conditions an imbalance in the complement system is observed where CFHL2's role in modulating complement factor H comes into play. Such disruption in balance contributes to the pathology of these diseases and implicates related proteins like complement factor H in disease progression.
