MaxLight™490 is a new Blue-Green photostable dye conjugate comparable to DyLight™488, Alexa Fluor™488 and offers better labeling efficiency, brighter imaging and increased immunodetection.
Complement Factor I is a member of the peptidase S1 family present in the blood plasma.
Factor I is an 88kD protein consisting of one polypeptide chain of 35.4kD and one of 27.6kD.
Factor I is a serine protease which inactivates complement components C3b and C4b.
C3b cleavage requires the presence of cofactors complement component (3b/4b) receptor 1 (CR1), membrane cofactor protein or factor H, while C4b cleavage requires complement component 4 binding protein or CR1.
Factor I has no natural inhibitors.
Dysfunctional factor I can lead to uncontrolled activation of the alternative complement pathway causing systemic depletion of C3 and lowering levels of factors B and H, resulting in recurrent pyogenic infections.
Defects in CFI are also associated with haemolytic uraemic syndrome.
Applications:Suitable for use in Western Blot.
Other applications have not been tested.
Recommended Dilution:Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
