Information
Gene Symbol: | AFP |
Gene ID: | 174 |
Uniprot ID: | FETA_HUMAN |
Immunogen Region: | Full length |
Immunogen: | Full length native protein (purified) corresponding to Human alpha 1 Fetoprotein. Purified human alpha 1 Fetoprotein. |
Description
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. |
