other info1 :
Buffer: Phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.2
other info2 :
Preservative: 0.1% sodium azide. Procedure: Goats were immunized with highly purified human alpha fetoprotein in Freund's adjuvant. The antiserum was solid phase absorbed to ensure it is monospecific to human alpha fetoprotein then immunoaffinity purified off an antigen containing immunoabsorbant.
products categories :
Human Protein
products description :
Goats were immunized with highly purified human alpha-fetoprotein. The resulting antiserum was passed over an antigen containing immunoabsorbant from which the anti-human alpha-fetoprotein was immunoaffinity purified.

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]
uniprot summary :
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. Protein type: Secreted; Secreted, signal peptide. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 4q13.3. Cellular Component: extracellular space; cytoplasm. Molecular Function: metal ion binding. Biological Process: transport; progesterone metabolic process; ovulation from ovarian follicle. Disease: Alpha-fetoprotein Deficiency; Alpha-fetoprotein, Hereditary Persistence Of
