Transthyretin (TTR) (Rat) ELISA Kit

Transthyretin (TTR) is also known as Prealbumin, ATTR, TBPA, PALB, which belongs to the transthyretin family. Transthyretin/TTR is a serum and cerebrospinal fluid carrier of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4) and retinol-binding protein bound to retinol. In cerebrospinal fluid TTR is the primary carrier of T4. TTR also acts as a carrier of retinol (vitamin A) through its association with etinol-binding protein (RBP) in the blood and the CSF. Less than 1% of TTR's T4 binding sites are occupied in blood. TTR misfolding and aggregation is known to be associated with the amyloid diseases. BioVision’s Transthyretin ELISA kit is a sandwich ELISA assay for the quantitative measurement of rat Transthyretin in serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants. The density of color is proportional to the amount of rat Transthyretin captured from the samples.
