Background

alpha -Fetoprotein is a major plasma protein in the fetus. Its concentration is normally low in the adult except when produced by certain tumors. AFP is produced by the yolk sac and the liver during fetal development. It is thought to be the fetal form of serum albumin. AFP binds to copper, nickel, fatty acids and billirubin and can found in mono-, di or trimeric forms.
