About this Product
SKU:
OPPA01268
Additional Names:
HSA; PRO0883; PRO0903; PRO1341
Extra Details:
Albumin is synthesized in the liver as preproalbumin which has an N-terminal peptide that is removed before the nascent protein is released from the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The product; proalbumin; is in turn cleaved in the Golgi vesicles to produce the secreted albumin. Albumin is a soluble; monomeric protein which comprises about one-half of the blood serum protein. Albumin functions primarily as a carrier protein for steroids; fatty acids; and thyroid hormones and plays a role in stabilizing extracellular fluid volume. Mutations in this gene on chromosome 4 result in various anomalous proteins. Albumin is a globular unglycosylated serum protein of molecular weight 65;000. The human albumin gene is 16;961 nucleotides long from the putative 'cap' site to the first poly (A) addition site. It is split into 15 exons which are symmetrically placed within the 3 domains that are thought to have arisen by triplication of a single primordial domain. HSA is widely used to stabilize blood volume generally from donors but the fear of contamination such as HIV & Hepatitis has enticed great interest in the recombinant form which is identical to the natural blood. Suitable for use in biochemical; excipient (an inert substance used as a diluent or vehicle for a drug); culture media and chromatographic applications.
