General description

Albumin is the most abundant plasma protein in humans. Albumin turnover is seen in infants with iron deficiency anemia. Serum albumin is a reliable prognostic indicator for liver disease. Oxidative damage of albumin is associated with advanced liver disease.

Application

Albumin from rat serum has been used:
  • to study its sequence information from multiply charged ions formed by electrospray ionization
  • to cross-link with silk fibroin (SF) to synthesize a combined protein template
  • to infused into the brain to study its effects on nerve cell damage following brain injury

Preparation Note

Prepared from essentially globulin free albumin (A4538).
