Fetuin A/AHSG Protein, Macaca nemestrina (HEK293, His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

Fetuin A/AHSG Protein is a heterodimeric plasma glycoprotein containing an A-chain of 282 amino acids and a B-chain of 27 amino acid residues linked by a single inter-disulfide bond. Fetuin A is a plasma carrier protein that helps to transport and make a wide range of substances available in the bloodstream. Fetuin A is a hepatokine which has the capacity to prevent vascular calcification. Fetuin A is a multifunctional protein that plays important roles in diabetes, kidney disease, and cancer, as well as in inhibition of ectopic calcification. Fetuin A/AHSG Protein, Macaca nemestrina (HEK293, His) is the recombinant Fetuin A/AHSG protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-10*His labeled tag.

Description

Fetuin A/AHSG Protein is a heterodimeric plasma glycoprotein containing an A-chain of 282 amino acids and a B-chain of 27 amino acid residues linked by a single inter-disulfide bond. Fetuin A is a plasma carrier protein that helps to transport and make a wide range of substances available in the bloodstream. Fetuin A is a hepatokine which has the capacity to prevent vascular calcification. Fetuin A is a multifunctional protein that plays important roles in diabetes, kidney disease, and cancer, as well as in inhibition of ectopic calcification[1][2][3]. Fetuin A/AHSG Protein, Macaca nemestrina (HEK293, His) is the recombinant Fetuin A/AHSG protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-10*His labeled tag.

Background

The molecular weight of Fetuin A ranges from 51 to 67 kDa, depending on the degree of glycosylation. It is a negatively charged glycoprotein circulating in the blood and extracellular fluid with several days of half-life[1].
Fetuin A is a hepatic secretory glycoprotein that promotes insulin resistance by inhibiting the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase in skeletal muscle and hepatocytes, serving as an adaptor protein for saturated fatty acids and allowing them to activate Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), thereby inducing inflammatory signaling and insulin resistance. Fetuin A inhibits soft tissue calcification through binding of small clusters of calcium and phosphate. Fetuin A enhances phagocytosis of extracellular vesicles and apoptotic cells by vascular smooth muscle cells and macrophages, reducing both apoptosis and calcification in cells subjected to elevated extracellular concentrations of mineral ions[1].
Fetuin A binds with a plethora of receptors and exhibits multifaceted physiological and pathological functions. It is involved in the regulation of calcium metabolism, osteogenesis, and the insulin signaling pathway. It also acts as an ectopic calcification inhibitor, protease inhibitor, inflammatory mediator, anti-inflammatory partner, atherogenic factor, and adipogenic factor, among other several moonlighting functions[2].
