Repeated freeze/thaw cycles are not recommended for this product; ideally, only one freeze-thaw cycle (for aliquoting) should be performed. Aqueous solutions can be mixed and then frozen for later use, but should be stored in single-use aliquots to avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Stability in solution is not fully determined for this product, but similar products are stable for several months at –20°C.

Gene Information
human ... ALB(213)
General description
Albumin gene is mapped to human chromosome 4q13.3. It is synthesized as a preproalbumin with 609 amino acids in the liver. The mature albumin comprising 585 residues, is generated by the cleavage of signal peptide. Albumin is the major circulating protein in serum. It comprises three domains (I, II and III), each of which is subdivided into two subdomains A and B. A total of six ligand binding site is associated with albumin. Domain IIA and IIIA harbor small heterocyclic or aromatic compounds binding site. Long-chain fatty acid binding sites is present in IB and IIIB domains.
Application
Naturally occurring glycated albumin is a sensitive indicator of glycemic control by diabetic patients.
Albumin, glycated human has been used:
- as a component of serum-free medium for retinal microglia activation
- to stimulate immortalised proximal tubule epithelial (HK-2) cells for fibronectin production
- as medium supplement in human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRMECs) cultures to test its effect on family with sequence similarity 18, member B (FAM18B) expression
Biochem/physiol Actions
Albumin is crucial for physiological processes and is the major transporter for lipids, metal ions and amino acids. It has antioxidant functionality and binds to drugs as well. Mutation in the albumin gene is implicated in an autosomal recessive disorder called Analbuminemia, which is characterized by low levels of albumin. The major glycation site is lysine 525 in albumin. Glycated albumin is a marker of glycemia in diabetes mellitus patients and is useful in assessment of HbA1c based glycemic control.

What is the molecular weight of Product A8301, Albumin, glycated human?
1 answer-
Because the degree of glycation varies with each lot, the calculated molecular weight (MW) varies with each lot. The parent albumin has a molecular weight of approximately 66,478 Daltons. Each hexose unit adds approximately 180 Daltons to the molecular weight.
