Rabbit Anti-rgpB (Biotin)
Gingipain R2 (EC 3.4.22.37) (Arg-gingipain) (Gingipain 2) (RGP-2), rgpB, prtRII rgp2
Thiol protease. Acts synergistically with RgpA to catalyze the maturation of fimbrial subunits, such as FimA (By similarity). Its proteolytic activity is a major factor in both periodontal tissue destruction and in evasion of host defense mechanisms (probable).
Applications
Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
