Description

Mouse monoclonal antibody raised against AFP.

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

• Test Specificity: MBS-12 specifically detects AFP. This protein is one of the major serum proteins in the early life of mammals. AFP is an oncodevelopmental gene product which is expressed at high levels in the embryonic yolk sac and fetal liver. AFP production is reactivated in the adult during liver regeneration and hepatocarcinogenesis.
