Native Proteins for Metabolic Research
Metabolism research bridges basic science and clinical application – from understanding lipid transport mechanisms to developing diagnostic assays for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Athens proteins support this full continuum.
Our proteins are purified from native human plasma to preserve the glycosylation, binding properties, and structural integrity that define biological function. For metabolism and endocrinology research, native structure matters.
What sets Athens apart for metabolism research:
Apolipoproteins and lipoproteins – Complete panel including ApoAI, ApoAII, ApoB, ApoCI, ApoC2, ApoC3, ApoE, plus HDL, LDL, VLDL, IDL, Lp(a), and oxidized LDL for cardiovascular and lipid metabolism studies.
Iron transport proteins – Transferrin (holo, apo, and partially saturated forms), Lactoferrin, and Ceruloplasmin for iron homeostasis and related metabolic research.
Vitamin and micronutrient carriers – GC Globulin (Vitamin D Binding Protein) and Retinol Binding Protein for studies of vitamin transport and endocrine function.
Diabetes and glycemic markers – HbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin) for diagnostic calibration and diabetes research.
Nutritional status markers – Prealbumin (Transthyretin) and Albumin for nutritional assessment and metabolic studies.
Athens proteins have supported published research on adipocyte biology, cardiovascular disease mechanisms, and metabolic disease at leading institutions worldwide.
