Albumin Antibody

Albumin is a soluble, monomeric protein which comprises about one-half of the blood serum protein. Albumin functions primarily as a carrier protein for steroids, fatty acids, and thyroid hormones and plays a role in stabilizing extracellular fluid volume. Albumin is a globular unglycosylated serum protein of molecular weight 65,000. Albumin is synthesized in the liver as preproalbumin which has an N-terminal peptide that is removed before the nascent protein is released from the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The product, proalbumin, is in turn cleaved in the Golgi vesicles to produce the secreted albumin. Albumin is a soluble, monomeric protein which comprises about one-half of the blood serum protein.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store Albumin antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

Albumin antibody can be used for detection of Albumin by ELISA at 1:62500. Albumin antibody can be used for detection of Albumin by western blot at 1 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
