#27796 Mouse Mac-2 binding protein (Mac-2bp) Assay Kit-IBL has been released. Mac-2 binding protein (Mac-2bp), known as 90K, is a highly N-glycosylated, secreted protein, identified as a ligand of Galectin-3. It is considered that through interaction with Galectin-3, Mac-2bp promotes homotypic cell-cell contact or regulates cell adhesion. And it has been reported that Mac-2bp levels in blood have associations with various cancers and chronic hepatic diseases such as NASH (Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis). 

Mac-2bp has been also reported that it may become a useful tool for distinguishing NASH and as a novel blood marker for predicting progress of hepatic fibrosis. This ELISA kit can measure concentration of mouse Mac-2bp.
