Human MBP-C - MBL2 ELISA Kit

Natural and recombinant human MBP-C. There is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins. Protein function: Calcium-dependent lectin involved in innate immune defense. Binds mannose, fucose and N-acetylglucosamine on different microorganisms and activates the lectin complement pathway. Binds to late apoptotic cells, as well as to apoptotic blebs and to necrotic cells, but not to early apoptotic cells, facilitating their uptake by macrophages. May bind DNA. [The UniProt Consortium]
