Albumin′s primary structure is composed of a single chain of amino acids and the secondary structure is composed of α-helix of six turns and 17 disulfide bridges. The tertiary structure is 3D and is composed of three domains I II and III. Each of these domains are made of sub-domains IAB, IC, IIAB, IIC, IIIAB, IIIC, respectively.
Specificity
Anti-human albumin antibodies are specific for human albumin.
Immunogen
Human albumin
Application
Anti-Human Albumin antibody has been used in enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and in immobilization of antibodies for human serum albumin (HSA).
Anti-human albumin antibody may be used in quantitative precipitin assay, high-throughput protein microarray analysis and immunocytochemistry .
Rat hepatocytes were grown on collagen-coated coverslips, fixed in formalin and permeablized with methanol prior to incubation with rabbit anti-human albumin antibody.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Albumin is a transport protein that binds a broad range of ligands such as fatty acids, bilirubin, hemin, drugs, amino acids and ions among several others . Albumin may also function as a zinc carrier protein and consequently regulate physiological processes .
Albumin plays a major role in transportation and deposition of many exogenous and endogenous substances in blood.
Physical form
Supplied as a liquid containing 15mM sodium azide as preservative.

Human natural anti-α-galactoside (anti-Gal) and anti-β-glucoside (ABG) antibodies were previously reported to recognize the serine- and threonine-rich peptide sequences (STPS) of albumin-associated O-glycoproteins (AOP1 and AOP2) as surrogate antigens, forming anti-Gal/ABG-AOP1/AOP2-albumin triplet immune complexes in plasma. Since antibodies in these
