General description
Albumin, Bovine Serum, Fraction V, Modified Cohn, pH 5.2 is a native fatty acid profile that reflects endogenous lipids. It has a pH in the range of 4.8-5.4 in 150 mM NaCl (1%).
Bovine serum albumin (BSA), a non-glycosylated globular, α-helical protein, belongs to the serum albumin family. It consists of three domains with two sub-domains each and has 17-disulfide bonds.
Application
Albumin, Bovine Serum, Fraction V, Modified Cohn, pH 5.2 has been used as a blocking agent in western blotting. It has also been used as a component in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for diluting secondary antibodies and blocking in immunofluorescence to observe the localization of the Golgi apparatus.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) is the most vital component of cell culture media. It aids in the differentiation of embryonic stem cells (hESC). It plays a key role in the transportation of drugs, hormones, and fatty acids. BSA is used in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) as a blocking agent.
Warning
Toxicity: Standard Handling (A)
Reconstitution
