Description

General description

Albumin from rat serum comprises N-terminal signal and pro-peptide sequence. It has more tyrosine residues than human albumin and has a single tryptophan residue.

Application

Albumin from rat serum has been used:

• as a standard in rocket electrophoresis for quantification of cerebrospinal fluid and serum proteins
• in the preparation of Alexa Fluor 488 labeled fluorescent probe for confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) studies
• as a component of perfusate solution for suspending rat erythrocytes

Packaging

25, 100, 250 mg

1 g in poly bottle

Biochem/physiol Actions

Rat serum albumin (RSA) is useful for exogenous ligand transport studies. The tryptophan residue is useful in fluorescence spectroscopy measurements.

Preparation Note

Prepared from albumin (A6272).
