Purified anti-Transthyretin 31-50 Antibody anti-Transthyretin - CPTC-TTR-1,BioLegend,853001

Transthyretin (TTR) is a carrier protein capable of transporting thyroid hormones in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid, and retinol (vitamin A) in the plasma. TTR can form aberrant insoluble amyloid fibrils that primarily deposit in a patient’s heart and/or peripheral nerves. The wild-type protein is associated with senile systemic amyloidosis (SSA) and is typically diagnosed in men over 70 years-old. Single or double mutations in TTR are primarily associated with familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) or familial amyloid cardiopathy (FAC), affecting younger patients (in their 30s).Clinical symptoms of TTR amyloidosis have historically been attributed to fibrils, but recent experimental evidence indicates that soluble TTR aggregates are also pathogenic.
