Description

General description

Albumin from rat serum comprises N-terminal signal and pro-peptide sequence. It has more tyrosine residues than human albumin[1] and has a single tryptophan residue.[2]

Application

Albumin from rat serum has been used:

• as a standard in rocket electrophoresis for quantification of cerebrospinal fluid and serum proteins[3]
• in the preparation of Alexa Fluor 488 labeled fluorescent probe for confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) studies[4]
• as a component of perfusate solution for suspending rat erythrocytes[5]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Rat serum albumin (RSA) is useful for exogenous ligand transport studies. The tryptophan residue is useful in fluorescence spectroscopy measurements.[2]

Preparation Note

Prepared from albumin (A6272).
