Bio-Rad, VMA00071, Albumin antibody

Mouse anti Human albumin antibody recognizes albumin, a soluble, monomeric protein comprising about one-half of the blood serum protein. Albumin is a globular unglycosylated protein which functions primarily as a carrier protein for steroids, fatty acids, and thyroid hormones and plays a role in stabilizing extracellular fluid volume. 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 (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008). Mouse anti Human albumin antibody detects a band of 67 kDa. The antibody has been extensively validated for western blotting using human serum lysates.
