COX2

This antibody reacts with a 70 kDa protein. COX-2 (Cyclooxygenase-2) is an inducible enzyme. It is involved in the response of cells to growth factors, tumor promoters and cytokines that induce its expression. COX-2 expression markedly increased in 85-90% of human colorectal adenocarcinoma whereas COX-1 levels remained unchanged.
