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
Several potential urinary biomarkers exhibiting an association with upper gastrointestinal tumour growth have been previously identified, of which S100A6, S100A9, rabenosyn-5 and programmed cell death 6-interacting protein (PDCD6IP) were further validated and found to be upregulated in malignant tumours.
