Background

AFP ( alpha -Fetoprotein) is a 69-73 kDa member of the ALB/AFP/VDB family of proteins. alpha -Fetoprotein is a major plasma protein in the fetus. Its concentration is normally low in the adult except when produced by certain tumors. It is secreted by fetal liver and serves as a carrier molecule for phytoestrogens, heavy metals (Cu and Ni), estrogen and fatty acids. Mature human AFP is 591 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains three albumin domains (aa 19-210, 211-402 and 403-601), plus 15 intrachain disulfide bonds. Mature human AFP shares approximately 66% aa identity with mouse AFP.
