SILu™Prot ALB is a recombinant, stable isotope-labeled human albumin which incorporates [13C6, 15N4]-Arginine and [13C6, 15N2]-Lysine. Expressed in human 293 cells, it is designed to be used as an internal standard for bioanalysis of albumin in mass-spectrometry. SILu™Prot ALB is a monomer of 607 amino acids (including C-terminal polyhistidine and flag tags), with a molecular weight of ~69 kDa.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Albumin is synthesized exclusively by the liver parenchymal cells at a rate of 14 g/day. While it is the most abundant plasma protein (>50%), increased urine albumin concentrations indicate bleedings in the lower urinary tract (ureter, bladder) or infections of the renal pelvis. A small abnormal albumin excretion is known as Microalbuminuria and serves as an indicator for temporary overload of the glomerular filtration (fever, excessive sports) or chronic injury of the glomeruli (diabetes).
