HPA023600    Human Protein Atlas characterization data

The gene AFP (alpha fetoprotein) encodes a plasma glycoprotein that has a molar mass of 70kDa. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 4. The gene is evolutionarily-related to serum albumin, which is also mapped to human chromosome 4.It is synthesized along with serum albumin during the development of embryonic yolk sac and the liver.

Alpha-fetoprotein Precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

All Prestige Antibodies^®Powered by Atlas Antibodies is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org). Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Alpha-fetoprotein encoded by the gene AFP is involved in the regulation of fatty acids in both fetal and proliferating adult liver cells. Its expression is found to be increased in acute liver injuries, indicating active liver regeneration. It has been associated with fatty liver disease (FLD), a disease that may lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. It serves as a tumor marker for HCC (hepatocellular carcinoma).

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
