products description :
Albumin is a water-soluble protein with considerable structural stability which makes up 60percent of the total protein of plasma. It functions as a carrier of hormones, enzymes, fatty acids, metal ions, and medicinal products. Prepared from Sprague Dawley rat plasma by proprietary fractionation methods and lyophilized. >95percent pure by SDS-PAGE. Add deionized water or buffer to original or desired volume, aliquot and freeze unused portion.

uniprot summary :
albumin: Serum albumin, the main protein of plasma, has a good binding capacity for water, Ca(2+), Na(+), K(+), fatty acids, hormones, bilirubin and drugs. Its main function is the regulation of the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood. Major zinc transporter in plasma, typically binds about 80% of all plasma zinc. Plasma. Belongs to the ALB/AFP/VDB family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Carrier; Secreted; Secreted, signal peptide. Cellular Component: extracellular space; protein complex; cytoplasm; extracellular region; basement membrane; nucleus; myelin sheath. Molecular Function: toxin binding; enzyme binding; DNA binding; zinc ion binding; chaperone binding; drug binding; oxygen binding; fatty acid binding; pyridoxal phosphate binding. Biological Process: response to organic substance; response to mercury ion; retinal homeostasis; transport; maintenance of mitochondrion localization; hemolysis by symbiont of host red blood cells; cellular response to starvation; vasodilation; positive regulation of circadian sleep/wake cycle, non-REM sleep; response to nutrient; negative regulation of apoptosis
