Mouse Ceruloplasmin, CP/CER ELISA Kit
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a copper-containing glycoprotein found soluble in the serum and GPI-anchored in other tissues. It oxidizes Fe(II) to Fe(III) and is proposed to play an important role in iron homeostasis. In humans mutations of this gene cause aceruloplasminemia, which is characterized by retinal degeneration, diabetes, anemia and neurological symptoms. In mouse deficiency of this gene in combination with a deficiency of its homolog hephaestin causes retinal degeneration and serves as a pathophysiological model for aceruloplasminemia and age-related macular degeneration. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]
Uniprot Description
Function: Ceruloplasmin is a blue, copper-binding (6-7 atoms per molecule) glycoprotein. It has ferroxidase activity oxidizing Fe2+ to Fe3+ without releasing radical oxygen species. It is involved in iron transport across the cell membrane. Provides Cu2+ ions for the ascorbate-mediated deaminase degradation of the heparan sulfate chains of GPC1. May also play a role in fetal lung development or pulmonary antioxidant defense
Catalytic activity: 4 Fe2+ + 4 H+ + O2 = 4 Fe3+ + 2 H2O.
Cofactor: Binds 6 copper ions per monomer

Product Notes
The Mouse CP cp (Catalog #AAA703852) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA703852 ELISA Kit recognizes Mouse CP. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "ceruloplasmin (ferroxidase), ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
