1. 背景介绍
Titin的主要功能之一是保持肌小节的细胞结构的柔韧性,结构完整性和稳定性。Titin由244个结构域以及之间的肽序列连接组成,这些结构域在蛋白拉伸时去折叠,而在张力去除后重新折叠,通过与其他肌肉蛋白(包括肌动蛋白和肌球蛋白)相互作用,Titin可参与肌肉的收缩和放松过程。 根据现有研究成果,Titin涉及的研究领域较为广泛,除肌肉减少症外还与非酒精性脂肪性肝(NAFLD)、非酒精性脂肪性肝炎(NASH)以及NAFLD的纤维化有关。此外,Titin在运动医学、心脏病、和老年衰弱(frailty)综合征等领域均有研究。 2. 产品应用 独家指标 优势: 可直接检测人尿液中的Titin-N,提供非侵入性研究方式; 抗体特异性强,避免非特异性结合; 使用预包被抗体的96孔板,节约抗体包被时间; 反应时间短:第一次孵育37℃ 1hr,第二次孵育37℃ 0.5hr,显色液孵育37℃ 0.5hr。 Reference 1.
