IQ Products – Pregnostic-PE IIp ESM-1 ELISA
THESE PRODUCTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
ESM-1 is a unique biomarker of vascular endothelial activation and dysfunction in several pathological conditions. The product is used for research in for example sepsis, cancer, obesity and preeclampsia.
Background
Endothelial cell-specific molecule 1 (ESM-1) is a unique and pertinent biomarker of vascular endothelial activation/dysfunction in diseases. The variation of blood levels of ESM-1 may reflect endothelial dysfunction in several pathological conditions, including sepsis, cancer, dengue fever and obesity1.
Higher ESM-1 levels are also found in relation to occurrence of preeclampsia in pregnancy3-6. Moreover, ESM-1 levels are significantly lower in pregnant women that develop severe early-onset preeclampsia at week 12 of gestation2. This is the first indication that ESM-1 could be a possible early biomarker to assess the risk of developing preeclampsia later on in pregnancy.
Early assessment of the risk for preeclampsia can provide an opportunity for accurate management during pregnancy to limit harm to the unborn child.
