Alpha-1-acid glycoprotein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ORM1 gene. The structural gene for orosomucoid (ORM1) is assigned to the end of the long arm of chromosome 9 by demonstration of linkage to ABO and AK1. This gene encodes a key acute phase plasma protein. Because of its increase due to acute inflammation, this protein is classified as an acute-phase reactant. The specific function of this protein has not yet been determined; however, it may be involved in aspects of immunosuppression.

Optimal dilution of the ORM1 antibody should be determined by the researcher.

Amino acids Q19-S201 from the human protein were used as the immunogen for the ORM1 antibody.

After reconstitution, the ORM1 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
