Product Name:Human AFP Recombinant Protein
Product Code:RPPB2828
Size:50µg
Species:Human
Target:AFP
Synonyms:Alpha-fetoprotein, Alpha-fetoglobulin, Alpha-1-fetoprotein, AFP, FETA, HPAFP.
Source:Human cord serum
Physical Appearance:Sterile Filtered clear solution.
Formulation:AFP protein filtered (0.2�m) solution in Tris buffered saline pH 7.5 and less than 0.1% NaN3.
Stability:Human Alpha-Fetoprotein should be stored at 2-8°C.

AFP is normally synthesized in the liver, intestinal tract, and yolk sac of the fetus. Antibody to AFP has been shown to be useful in detecting hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) and germ cell neoplasms, especially yolk sac tumors.

Human alpha-fetoprotein purified from pooled human cord serum.

UniProt Protein Function:AFP: Binds copper, nickel, and fatty acids as well as, and bilirubin less well than, serum albumin. Only a small percentage (less than 2%) of the human AFP shows estrogen-binding properties. Dimeric and trimeric forms have been found in addition to the monomeric form. Plasma. Synthesized by the fetal liver and yolk sac. Belongs to the ALB/AFP/VDB family.

NCBI Summary:This gene encodes alpha-fetoprotein, a major plasma protein produced by the yolk sac and the liver during fetal life. Alpha-fetoprotein expression in adults is often associated with hepatoma or teratoma. However, hereditary persistance of alpha-fetoprotein may also be found in individuals with no obvious pathology. The protein is thought to be the fetal counterpart of serum albumin, and the alpha-fetoprotein and albumin genes are present in tandem in the same transcriptional orientation on chromosome 4. Alpha-fetoprotein is found in monomeric as well as dimeric and trimeric forms, and binds copper, nickel, fatty acids and bilirubin. The level of alpha-fetoprotein in amniotic fluid is used to measure renal loss of protein to screen for spina bifida and anencephaly. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
