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).

A robust peptide quantification method was developed where overlapping peptide isotopic distributions were fit with predicted peptide isotopic envelope mixture models (IEMMs). Application to two difficult quantitative problems was demonstrated. The first was the quantification of deamidation, where masses of
