General Information
| Short Description | Alpha 1 Fetoprotein Blocking Peptide is synthetically produced from the Full length sequence and is suitable for use in western blot applications. |
| Applications | Immunodepletion/Immunocompetition |
| Note | STRICTLY FOR FURTHER SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH USE ONLY (RUO). MUST NOT TO BE USED IN DIAGNOSTIC OR THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS. |
Product Properties
| Formulation | Liquid form at 2.5mg/ml concentration in PBS. Up to 5% DMSO can be added. Orders with >1mg can be supplied in lyophilized powder form, or in buffer of choice. |
| Storage Instruction | Store at-20°C for long term storage. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles. |
Target Information
| Gene Symbol | AFP |
| Gene ID | 174 |
| Uniprot ID | FETA_HUMAN |
| Immunogen | Full length native protein (purified) corresponding to Human alpha 1 Fetoprotein. Purified human alpha 1 Fetoprotein. |
| Immunogen Region | Full length |
Additional Info
| Tissue Specificity | Plasma. Synthesized by the fetal liver and yolk sac. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Independent studies suggest heterogeneity of the N-terminal sequence of the mature protein and of the cleavage site of the signal sequence. Sulfated. |
| 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. |
