This antigen with a mass around 66 kDa is expressed significantly in liver tissues. Researchers often use it as a hepatocyte marker in studies and experiments facilitating the recognition and analysis of liver cells. Its specificity makes it a useful tool in hepatocyte flow cytometry and in histological investigations where defining cell type is important.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Hepatocyte Specific Antigen participates in the maintenance and function of liver cells. It does not belong to a known complex itself but plays a role in the structural and functional characterization of hepatocytes. These cells' proper function is essential for metabolic processes detoxification and production of vital proteins. Recognizing hepatocyte markers aids in understanding liver health and disease states.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Hepatocyte Specific Antigen is pivotal for identifying hepatocyte involvement in metabolic pathways such as bile acid biosynthesis and glycolysis. Its presence helps delineate pathways that include proteins like Albumin and Cytochrome P450 both critically involved in liver-specific functions. These pathways highlight the liver's key roles in metabolism and detoxification informed by precise cellular identification.\u003cbr\u003e\nHepatocyte Specific Antigen serves as a focal point in studying liver diseases such as hepatitis and liver cirrhosis. Its role in these diseases involves connections with proteins like ALT (Alanine Transaminase) and AST (Aspartate Transaminase) which are often elevated in liver damage. Identifying hepatocyte markers allows researchers to explore disease mechanisms progression and treatment responses enhancing our understanding of liver-specific pathologies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854776488105,"sku":"ab234028","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab234028","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
