Short Description: |
Alpha 1 Fetoprotein Positive Control is synthetically produced from the sequence and is suitable for use in western blot applications. |
Formulation: |
Provided as 100 uL ready-to-use, in SDS-PAGE sample buffer (Laemelli's buffer) containing Tris, pH 6.8, 1 % SDS, Glycerol and Bromophenolblue blue as tracking dye. The sample is reduced by adding 2% beta mercaptoethanol. The protein concentration is |
Dilution Range: |
WB: 1:500 |
Storage Instruction: |
Store at-20°C for long term storage. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles. |
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. |
