This antibody reacts with human apoLipoprotein B and has negligible cross-reactivity with Type A-I, A-II, C-I, C-II, C-III, E and J apoLipoproteins. Specific cross reaction of anti-apoLipoprotein antibodies with antigens from other species has not been determined. Non-specific cross reaction of anti-apoLipoprotein antibodies with other human serum proteins is negligible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProduct details:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis antibody has been used to determine that atherosclerotic lesions in the human aorta contain considerable amounts of lipoproteins. These lipoproteins were observed to be complexed with components of the extracellular matrix (especially LDL and proteoglycans). The role of these matrix-lipoprotein complexes is not entirely clear, however, animal models of atherosclerosis have shown that increased cellular proliferation and increased production of extracellular matrix components occur following injury to the intimal layer of the aorta.\u003cbr\u003e\nAt least 9 distinct polymorphic forms of apolipoproteins are known. The apolipoproteins act as stabilizers of the intact lipoprotein particles. Quantitative measurements of HDL, LDL and VLDL particles in human serum are often used to estimate an individuals' relative risk of coronary heart disease. In addition, quantitative immunological measurements of certain apolipoproteins (especially A-1 and B) have been suggested to be more accurate estimators of coronary heart disease than measurements of lipoprotein particles (especially HDL and LDL). Abcam's apo-lipoproteins are derived from human plasma by density gradient ultracentrifugation and HPLC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nForm-Liquid, Purification technique-Affinity purification Immunogen, Purification notes-This product has been prepared by immunoaffinity chromatography using immobilized antigens followed by extensive cross-adsorption against other apoLipoproteins and human serum proteins to remove any unwanted specificities., Storage buffer-pH: 8Preservative: 0.01% Sodium azideConstituents: 4.77% Sodium borate, 0.44% Sodium chloride, 0.15% EDTA, Shipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage duration-1-2 weeks, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions--20°C, Aliquoting information-Upon delivery aliquot, Storage information-Avoid freeze \/ thaw cycle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nApolipoprotein B often referred to as ApoB is a core protein component of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and is essential for their assembly and secretion. ApoB is also known as apolipoproteine B and apolipoprotein B protein. This protein has a large molecular weight approximately 550 kDa. ApoB is primarily expressed in the liver and to some extent in the intestine. Its large size allows it to provide structural integrity to lipoprotein particles playing a role in lipid metabolism.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nApoB plays a significant role in lipid transport and metabolism. It is a critical component of the lipoprotein particle complex which is responsible for the transport of lipids such as cholesterol and triglycerides through the bloodstream. ApoB helps in the binding of lipoproteins to cell receptors facilitating the uptake of lipids by tissues. Its presence on the surface of lipoproteins makes it important for normal cholesterol homeostasis in the human body.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nApoB is integrated within the lipid metabolism pathway. It interacts with proteins such as microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) during the assembly and secretion of lipoproteins. This pathway is essential for the normal transport of lipids throughout the body and influences processes like absorption of dietary fats. ApoB also plays a role in the pathways related to atherosclerosis where it influences the deposition of cholesterol in arterial walls.\u003cbr\u003e\nApoB is well-associated with cardiovascular diseases notably atherosclerosis and familial hypercholesterolemia. In these conditions elevated levels of ApoB correlate to an increased risk of plaque formation in blood vessels. ApoB in conjunction with LDL receptor and other related proteins influences lipid homeostasis and disorders where lipid oxidation or accumulation is present. Monitoring ApoB and its concentration can be vital for assessing cardiovascular disease risk.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850105409705,"sku":"ab7616","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab7616","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
