Cat#:PA-3751F;Product Name:Goat Anti-Guinea Pig complement C3 Antibody;Synonym:complement C3; Acylation Stimulating Protein Cleavage Product; ASP; C3 and PZP like alpha 2 macroglobulin domain containing protein 1; C3 and PZP-like alpha-2-macroglobulin domain-containing protein 1; C3; CO3_HUMAN; Complement C3; Complement C3 precursor; Complement C3c alpha'' chain fragment 2; Complement Component 3; Complement factor 3; CPAMD 1; CPAMD1;Background:C3 plays a central role in the activation of the complement system. Its processing by C3 convertase is the central reaction in both classical and alternative complement pathways. After activation C3b can bind covalently, via its reactive thioester, to cell surface carbohydrates or immune aggregates. Derived from proteolytic degradation of complement C3, C3a anaphylatoxin is a mediator of local inflammatory process. It induces the contraction of smooth muscle, increases vascular permeability and causes histamine release from mast cells and basophilic leukocytes.;Description:Goat Anti-Guinea Pig complement C3 Polyclonal Antibody;Host Species:Goat;Species Reactivity:Guinea Pig;Isotype:IgG2a;Storage:Store antibody products at 2-8°C. For long term storage, aliquot and freeze at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles;Usage:For Lab Research Use Only;
