Related Product Information for anti-AFP antibody
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.

Uniprot Description

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: cytosol

Molecular Function: protein binding

Disease: Alpha-fetoprotein Deficiency; Alpha-fetoprotein, Hereditary Persistence Of

Product Notes

The AFP afp (Catalog #AAA9131833) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AFP Monoclonal Antibody reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's AFP can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunofluorescence (IF), Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS). WB: 1:500 - 1:2000 IF: 1:50 - 1:100 FC: 1:20 - 1:50. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the AFP afp for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "AFP, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
