Specification:96TestDescription:
Interleukin 4 receptor is a type I cytokine receptor. IL4R is its human gene.
This gene encodes the alpha chain of the interleukin-4 receptor, a type I transmembrane protein that can bind interleukin 4 and interleukin 13 to regulate IgE antibody production in B cells. Among T cells, the encoded protein also can…

Specification:96TestDescription:
RANKL a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) cytokine family which is a ligand for osteoprotegerin and functions as a key factor for osteoclast differentiation and activation. This protein was shown to be a dentritic cell survival factor and is involved in the regulation of T cell-dependent immune response. T…

Pyridinoline(PYD) is a crosslink compound isolated from bovine Achilles tendon collagen. It is a 3-hydroxypyridinium derivative with three amino and three carboxyl groups. The contents of pyridinoline in collagens from various sources were determined. The pyridinoline content of bovine Achilles tendon was 0.16…

Specification:96TestDescription:
Relaxin(RLN) is a peptide hormone produced by the corpora lutea of ovaries during pregnancy in many mammalian species, including man.
The secretion of the hormone into the blood stream just before parturition results in a marked softening and lengthening of the pubic symphysis and a softening of the cervix, which…

Specification:96TestDescription:
Parathyroid hormone-related protein (or PTHrP) is a protein occasionally secreted by cancer cells (breast cancer, certain types of lung cancer including squamous cell carcinoma). However, it also has normal functions.
PTHrP acts as an endocrine, autocrine/ paracrine, and intracrine hormone. PTHrP is related in…

Specification:96TestDescription:
RANTES is a protein, which belongs to the family of chemotactic cytokines. It is produced by circulating T-cells and T-cell clones in culture.
RANTES activates human basophils from some select basophil donors and causes the release of histamines. It can induce the proliferation and activation of killer cells known…

Specification:96TestDescription:
Retinoid-binding protein (RBP) is a transport protein that acts by solubilizing and protecting its labile ligands in aqueous spaces. It also has diverse and specific functions in regulating the disposition, metabolism and activities of retinoids. Retinol-binding protein is the specific plasma carrier of retinol,…

Specification:96TestDescription:
Renin is a member of the aspartyl proteinase family produced largely in part by the juxtaglomerular cells in the kidney.Renin differs from the other members of this class by having a pH optimum near neutral pH region with native substrates instead of 2.0 to 3.4 This more neutral pH optimum allows it to be…

The presence of IgM Rheumatoid Factor (RF) in the serum is the sole serological indicator included in the ACR list of criteria for the diagnosis of RA. RFs are a subset of antiglobulins directed against the Fc region of IgG. The here presented test systems for the determination of rheumatoid factors use only human…
