Description

General description

The most abundant plasma protein in mammals is albumin. It is produced in the liver and transferred as a non-glycosylated protein into the plasma. This multifunctional protein can bind to ligands.

Application

Albumin, Monomer bovine has been used as a:

• molecular weight (MW) and polydispersion index (PDI) reference standard for the analysis of hyaluronic acid (HA)-based eye drops
• standard in multi-angle light scattering coupled with size exclusion chromatography (SEC-MALS) for calibration
• model protein to generate subvisible particles (SVPs) for flow imaging microscopy studies

The binding properties of albumin can be used for a wide range of clinical, pharmaceutical, and biochemical applications.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Albumin is the most important circulatory protein involved in the control of Ca²⁺ (and Mg²⁺) levels in mammals.

Preparation Note

Isolated from albumin (A4503) as described for mercaptalbumin in Janatova, J., et al., J. Biol. Chem., 243, 3612 (1968).
