laminin

Laminin, also known as laminin, has a molecular weight of 805 kD and consists of a 400 kD alpha chain and two 200 kD beta chains. It is a non-collagen sugar that constitutes the interstitial cells. It is mainly composed of endothelial cells and fat-storing cells in the liver, and together with collagen constitutes a component of the basement membrane. Its biological function is the medium in which cells adhere to the matrix and binds to various basement membrane components to regulate cell growth and differentiation. Basic Information Specialist classification: growth and development check classification: biochemical examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: fasting Analysis results: Below normal: No clinical significance. Normal value: Laminin: 98.4-133.0ng/ml Above normal: It has important value in the diagnosis of liver fibrosis, especially portal hypertension. It has also been found that LN is associated with tumor invasion, metastasis, and the like. Chronic hepatitis (moderate) > 140 ng / ml, cirrhosis > 160 ng / ml. negative: Positive: Tips: In addition to the increase in primary liver cancer, many other cancer patients may also have elevated serum LN levels, which should be identified clinically. Normal value 115.7 ± 17.3 ng / ml. Clinical significance Serum LN levels are often parallel to type IV collagen, HA, etc., and have important value in the diagnosis of liver fibrosis, especially portal hypertension. It has also been found that LN is associated with tumor invasion, metastasis, and the like. Chronic hepatitis (moderate) > 140 ng / ml, cirrhosis > 160 ng / ml. High results may be diseases: liver fibrosis, alcoholic liver disease in the elderly, malignant vascular endothelial cell tumor, perivascular cell tumor considerations In addition to the increase in primary liver cancer, many other cancer patients may also have elevated serum LN levels, which should be identified clinically. Inspection process Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Not suitable for the crowd no. Adverse reactions and risks no.
