Additional Information Regarding the Antigen
Gene | AFP |
Protein | Alpha-fetoprotein |
Uniprot ID | P02771 |
Function | Binds copper, nickel, and fatty acids as well as, and bilirubin less well than, serum albumin. Only a small percentage (less than 2%) of the human AFP shows estrogen-binding properties. |
Tissue Specificity | Plasma. Synthesized by the fetal liver and yolk sac. |
Sub-cellular localization | Secreted. |
Sequence Similarities | Belongs to the ALB/AFP/VDB family. |
