Intended Use

This antibody pair set comes with matched antibody pair to detect and quantify protein level of human C4BPB.

General Description

This gene encodes a member of a superfamily of proteins composed predominantly of tandemly arrayed short consensus repeats of approximately 60 amino acids. A single, unique beta-chain encoded by this gene assembles with seven identical alpha-chains into the predominant isoform of C4b-binding protein, a multimeric protein that controls activation of the complement cascade through the classical pathway. C4b-binding protein has a regulatory role in the coagulation system also, mediated through the beta-chain binding of protein S, a vitamin K-dependent protein that serves as a cofactor of activated protein C. The genes encoding both alpha and beta chains are located adjacent to each other on human chromosome 1 in the regulator of complement activation gene cluster. Alternative splicing gives rise to multiple transcript variants.

Reconstitution And Storage

Store reagents of the antibody pair set at -20°C or lower. Please aliquot to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycle. Reagents should be returned to -20°C storage immediately after use.

Abstract

Since a tightly regulated complement system is needed for a successful pregnancy, we hypothesized that alterations in complement inhibitors may be associated with idiopathic, recurrent miscarriage. We sequenced all exons coding for three complement inhibitors: C4b-binding protein (C4BP), CD46, and CD55 in 384 childless women with at least two miscarriages that could not be explained by known risk factors. Several alterations were found in C4BPA, of which the R120H, I126T, and the G423T mutations affected the expression level and/or the ability of recombinant C4BP to serve as cofactor for factor I. The only variant in C4BPB was located in the C-terminal part, and did not impair the polymerization of the molecule. Our results identify for the first time alterations in C4BP in women experiencing recurrent miscarriages. We also found four CD46 alterations in individual patients that were not found in healthy controls. One of the rare variants, P324L, showed decreased expression, whereas N213I resulted in deficient protein processing as well as an impaired cofactor activity in the degradation of both C4b and C3b. The identified alterations may result in in vivo consequences and contribute to the disorder but the degree of association must be evaluated in larger cohorts.

CHROMOSOME ASSIGNMENTS OF THE GENES FOR GLUCOCORTICOID RECEPTOR, MYELIN BASIC-PROTEIN, LEUKOCYTE COMMON ANTIGEN, AND TRPM2 IN THE RAT

BIOCHEMICAL GENETICS

Abstract

We have utilized rat-mouse somatic cell hybrids to make chromosomal assignments for the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), myelin basic protein (MBP), leukocyte common antigen (LCA), and testosterone-repressed prostate message-2 (TRPM2) genes in the rat. The genes for GR and MBP both map on chromosome 18 of the rat, which corresponds to the mapping of both genes on chromosome 18 of the mouse. The gene for LCA maps on chromosome 13, which is where C4b-binding protein beta-chain (C4BPB), coagulation factor V (F5), and renin have previously been assigned. This linkage group appears to be homologous to a substantial portion of mouse chromosome 1 and human chromosome 1q. Finally, the TRPM2 gene has been assigned to rat chromosome 15.
