The antibody against Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) was raised in Rabbit using the recombinant fusion protein containing a sequence corresponding to amino acids 360-609 of human Alpha-Fetoprotein (Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP)) (NP_001125.1) as the immunogen. The polyclonal antibody exists as a isotype IgG, by affinity purification. This antibody has been validated on WB, ELISA.

Target Species
Human
Target Name
AFP
Target Full Name
Alpha-fetoprotein
Target Function
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.
Target Involvement
Alpha-fetoprotein deficiency (AFPD); Alpha-fetoprotein, hereditary persistence (HPAFP)
Target Subcellular Location
Secreted.
Target Protein Families
ALB/AFP/VDB family
Target Tissue Specificity
Plasma. Synthesized by the fetal liver and yolk sac.
Target Synonyms
AFPD; FETA; HPAFP; Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP)
Target Background
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 hepatocarcinoma and with teratoma, and has prognostic value for managing advanced gastric cancer. 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.
