Human AFP Protein, hFc Tag PME100075
Specifications
| 10µg / 50µg / 100µg |
Alternative names:
AFPD;FETA;HPAFP
Description:
Recombinant human AFP protein with C-terminal human Fc tag
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.
Molecular characterization:
AFP(Arg19-Val609) hFc(Glu99-Ala330)
Molecular weight:
The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 92.6 kDa after removal of the signal peptide.The apparent molecular mass of AFP-hFc is approximately 100-130 kDa due to glycosylation.
Tag:
C-Human Fc Tag
Expression host:
HEK293
Target:
AFP
Purity:
The purity of the protein is greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie blue staining.
Formulation / Reconstitution:
Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Normally 5 % - 8% trehalose is added as protectants before lyophilization. Please see Certificate of Analysis for specific instructions of reconstitution.
Storage:
Store at -20°C to -80°C for 12 months in lyophilized form. After reconstitution, if not intended for use within a month, aliquot and store at -80°C (Avoid repeated freezing and thawing). Lyophilized proteins are shipped at ambient temperature.
