General description

C1 Inhibitor is a member of the serpin family of structurally related proteins, and is the primary regulator of the immune complement system. C1 Inhibitor is a protease inhibitor that functions to inhibit the complement system in order to prevent over-activation or spontaneous activation. Inhibition is achieved by binding to and irreversibly inhibiting the C1r and C1s proteases of the C1 complex, which has the effect of shutting down all subsequent downstream events in the complement activation cascade. C1 inhibitor can also inhibit various other proteases, including Kallikrein, Factor XIa, and Factor XIIa.
Recombinant Human C1 Inhibitor is a highly glycosylated glycoprotein containing 445 amino acid residues (49.4kDa), corresponding to amino acids 56 – 500 of the C1 inhibitor precursor, and is fully functional in its ability to inhibit the C1 complex.
Product Source: Protein is expressed in E.coli.

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia in the elderly. In healthy individuals, amyloid precursor protein (APP) is cleaved by α-secretase, generating soluble α-amyloid precursor protein (sAPPα), which contributes neuroprotective functions in the neuronal environment.
