General description

Serum Albumin is a major protein found in circulating blood. Albumin is helical in structure with three domains that form a heart-like shape.

Application

Bovine Serum Albumin Fraction V, heat shock has been used for blocking in immunocytochemistry.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Serum Albumin participates in maintaining the osmotic pressure and pH of the blood. It also participates in the transport of various endogenous and exogenous compounds such as amino acids, drugs, steroids, and fatty acids. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is applicable as a molecular-weight standard, in vaccine preparation and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
