General description

α2-HS glycoprotein (A2HS) is a glycoprotein (molecular weight 49,000) present in human plasma at levels ranging between 40 and 85 mg/dl. A2HS is a major protein component of the bone matrix and could be involved both in mineralization and bone resorption.

Application

Fetuin (α2-HS-glycoprotein) was used to confirm its role in enhancing the suppression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) release from activated macrophages by CNI-1493. It was also used in 2-dimensional electrophoresis to detect glycosylation and influence spot pattern.

Packaging

Package size based on protein content

Physical form

Lyophilized from 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, with 200 mM NaCl

The genetic polymorphism of human alpha 2-HS glycoprotein was studied by ultrathin-layer isoelectric focusing in a pH range 4.2-4.9 followed by immunoblotting using antisera specific for the protein. Three common phenotypes, HSGA1-1, HSGA2-2, and HSGA1-2, were easily recognized using this

Macrophages become activated by bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide) and other stimuli to release proinflammatory cytokines and NO. To prevent release of toxic or potentially lethal quantities of these factors, the state of macrophage activation is counter-regulated by anti-inflammatory mediators (e.g., glucocorticoid
