ANTIBODIES
(anti-Human and others as indicated)
RDI Division of Fitzgerald Industries Intl offers a wide line of antibodies. Since no one antibody works best for all applications (neutralization, blotting, ELISA, etc), we offer many different types of antibodies to help solve this problem. Please inquire for other applications or types of antibodies not listed below.
Monoclonal anti-HUMAN Apolipoprotein D
cat# RDI-APODabm $517.00/vial

4 DEG C for immediate use. For long term use, recommend aliquoting
and store at -20 DEG C. Avoid frequent freeze thaw cycles.
Background:Apolipoprotein D is a glycoprotein involved in the human plasma lipid transport system. It is mainly associated with high density lipoprotein particles and forms disulphide heterodimers with other apolipoproteins. The function of apolipoprotein D in the metabolism of plasma lipoproteins is unclear but the obeservation that this protein forms complexes with lecithin:cholesterol acyltrasnferase has led to the suggestion that apolipoprotein D may be involved in cholersterol esterification and transport of substrates and products of the reaction. Apolipoprotein D is expressed in a range of normal tissues including axillary apocrine glands, adrenal cortex and corpus luteum. Peripheral nerves, pituitary, testis, cerebellum and renal tubes are also positive. Apoliporpotein D expression has been described in malignant prostrate gland but is absent in the normal glands. It is also highly expressed in cyst fluid from females with gross cystic disease of the breast and may be a feature in some breast carcinomas.
