It has a molecular mass of approximately 30-32 kDa. TB Ag85A is part of the antigen 85 complex which consists of proteins Ag85A Ag85B and Ag85C. This protein actively participates in mycobacterial cell wall synthesis. It catalyzes the transfer of mycolic acids to the cell wall arabinogalactan contributing to the bacteria's protective barrier. Expression occurs heavily in the cell envelope of Mycobacterium tuberculosis enabling vital interactions with the host's immune cells.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nTB Ag85A plays a significant role in the survival and virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis within host macrophages. It is part of the antigen 85 complex an important element in the synthesis of the mycobacterial cell envelope. This complex facilitates the interconversion of trehalose monomycolate and trehalose dimycolate critical for granuloma formation. The antigen 85 complex interferes with the host's immune response aiding the persistence of the bacterium. The synthesis and secretion of TB Ag85A by Mycobacterium tuberculosis allow it to adjust and survive hostile intra-host environments.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nTB Ag85A participates in the lipid biosynthesis pathway integral to cell envelope formation. This pathway plays a fundamental role in maintaining mycobacterial cell wall integrity. TB Ag85A is linked with proteins like Ag85B and Ag85C which are components of the same antigen 85 complex. These proteins work together within the pathway contributing to the robust defense system of Mycobacterium tuberculosis which complicates treatment and eradication efforts.\u003cbr\u003e\nTB Ag85A is closely connected to tuberculosis a severe infectious disease. The protein's role in cell wall synthesis and immune evasion links it to the pathogen's ability to persist in the host. TB Ag85A's interactions with host immune defenses allow Mycobacterium tuberculosis to survive and proliferate in the lungs. Additionally studies propose TB Ag85A as a potential target for developing vaccines against tuberculosis given its role in infection and immune evasion. Researchers are exploring its connections to Ag85B and Ag85C for novel therapeutic interventions in tuberculosis management.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843914027177,"sku":"ab240770","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab240770","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
