Description: Recombinant Human Alpha-fetoprotein/AFP Protein is produced by HEK293 cells expression system. The target protein is expressed with sequence (Arg19-Val609) of human Alpha-fetoprotein (Accession #NP_001125.1) fused with a 6×His tag at the C-terminus.
Alternate Names: AFPD, FETA, HPAFP, AFP
SWISS: P02771
GeneID: 174
Species: Human
Purity: ≥ 95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Storage: Store at -20 ℃. Store the lyophilized protein at -20℃ to -80 ℃ up to 1 year from the date of receipt. After reconstitution, the protein solution is stable at -20℃ for 3 months, at 2-8℃ for up to 1 week.
Background: AFP is Alpha-fetoprotein classified as a member of the albuminoid gene superfamily consisting of albumin, AFP, vitamin D (Gc) protein, and alpha-albumin. AFP is a glycoprotein of 591 amino acids and a carbohydrate moiety. AFP is one of the several embryo-specific proteins and is a dominant serum protein as early in human embryonic life as one month, when albumin and transferrin are present in relatively small amounts. It is first synthesized in the human by the yolk sac and liver(1-2 months) and subsequently predominantly in the liver. A small amount of AFP is produced by the GI tract of the human conceptus. It has been proved that AFP may reappear in the serum in elevated amounts in adult life in association with normal restorative processes and with malignant growth. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a specific marker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), teratoblastomas, and neural tube defect (NTD).
Bio-Activity: Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized Human AFP at 2 μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind AFP Mouse mAb with a linear range of 0.061-5.431 ng/mL.
