AFP 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 hepatoma or teratoma. However, hereditary persistance of alpha-fetoprotein may also be found in individuals with no obvious pathology. Alpha fetoprotein 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.

The Abbkine AFP alpha 1 Fetoprotein Mouse Monoclonal Antibody was affinity-purified from mouse ascites by affinity-chromatography using specific immunogen and detects endogenous AFP proteins. The antibody has been validaed in WB, IHC-P, IF and reacts with Human samples.
