Description

• General description: Albumin is the most abundant plasma protein in human. It has a molecular weight of 66.5 kDa.[1]
• Application: Albumin from human serum has been used:as a carrier of CPT-11 (irinotecan, Campto) and SN-38 to investigate its binding to human plasma proteins[2]to study the adsorption of water and acetonitrile (AN) vapor on a human serum albumin[3]to study its effect on wound healing process[4]
• Biochem/physiol Actions: Serum albumin functions as a carrier protein for steroids, fatty acids, and thyroid hormones, and is vital in regulating the colloidal osmotic pressures of blood. Albumin is also seen to bind to exogenous substances, particularly drugs (e.g., ibuprofen, warfarin), and strongly influence their pharmacokinetics. Oxidative stress leading to changes in the redox state of albumin has widely varied effects on its physiological function.
• Preparation Note: Prepared from albumin (A1653)
