The density of color is proportional to the amount of mouse PreAlbumin captured from the samples.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called E4310 Transthyretin (TTR) (Mouse) ELISA Kit. E4310-100 is the same size as the 96 test size of ab285262.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-+4°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nPrealbumin also known as transthyretin is a protein with a molecular mass of approximately 55 kDa. The liver primarily synthesizes prealbumin and it is present in the bloodstream. Functionally prealbumin transports thyroxine and retinol-binding protein-retinol complex facilitating the distribution of these molecules to target tissues. As such it plays an integral role in maintaining retinol and thyroid hormone homeostasis.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nPrealbumin interacts with retinol-binding protein to form a complex essential for vitamin A transportation. This complex prevents renal filtration of retinol-binding protein thereby conserving vitamin A in circulation. The protein's role extends beyond transport as it influences neurophysiological processes due to its ability to bind thyroid hormones and affect gene expression related to metabolism. Prealbumin is primarily a part of the thyroxine-transferring complex reinforcing its critical position in hormonal and vitamin dynamics.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nPrealbumin's role in the thyroxine-binding globulin pathway highlights its importance in the endocrine system. Another pathway where prealbumin contributes significantly is the vitamin A metabolic pathway. In these pathways prealbumin maintains functional relationships with proteins like retinol-binding protein and thyroxine-binding globulin which jointly modulate thyroid hormone transport and vitamin A dynamics across cellular membranes.\u003cbr\u003e\nPrealbumin directly associates with familial amyloid polyneuropathy and malnutrition. Familial amyloid polyneuropathy involves the deposition of prealbumin-derived amyloid fibrils in peripheral nerves impacting neuron function. In malnutrition decreased prealbumin levels serve as a biomarker reflecting poor nutritional status. Clinically prealbumin's relation to retinol-binding protein and thyroid hormone levels facilitates its use in diagnosing and monitoring these conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855625277609,"sku":"ab285262","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab285262","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
