MBL-C Polyclonal Antibody

MBL2 (mannose binding lectin 2) encodes the soluble mannose-binding lectin or mannose-binding protein found in serum. The protein encoded belongs to the collectin family and is an important element in the innate immune system. The protein recognizes mannose and N-acetylglucosamine on many microorganisms, and is capable of activating the classical complement pathway. Deficiencies of MBL2 have been associated with susceptibility to autoimmune and infectious diseases.
