General description
Albumin is the most abundant plasma protein in human. It has a molecular weight of 66.5 kDa.
Application
Albumin from human serum has been used:
- as a carrier of CPT-11 (irinotecan, Campto) and SN-38 to investigate its binding to human plasma proteins
- to study the adsorption of water and acetonitrile (AN) vapor on a human serum albumin
- to study its effect on wound healing process
Biochem/physiol Actions
Serum albumin functions as a carrier protein for steroids, fatty acids, and thyroid hormones, and is vital in regulating the colloidal osmotic pressures of blood. Albumin is also seen to bind to exogenous substances, particularly drugs (e.g., ibuprofen, warfarin), and strongly influence their pharmacokinetics. Oxidative stress leading to changes in the redox state of albumin has widely varied effects on its physiological function.
Serum albumin primarily mediates divalent cation transportation, fatty acid and drug complex formation and transport. The albumin levels in the serum indicate the disease progression in advanced liver disease. Low body weight and decreased serum albumin is associated with colorectal cancer.
Preparation Note
Prepared from albumin (A1653)

Historically, sunlight has seemed to fortify antituberculosis resistance. Evidence is presented here suggesting a role for vitamin D in this effect. The active metabolite of this photosynthesized vitamin, 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 (1,25D), promotes maturation and activation of human monocytes and macrophages
