The AFP afp (Catalog #MBS1494468) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Mouse anti-Human Alpha-fetoprotein(AFP) Monoclonal Antibody reacts with Human. Other species are not tested. Please decide the specificity by homology and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. MyBioSource\'s Alpha-fetoprotein can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA), Immunohistochemistry (IHC). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the AFP afp for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process.The AFP afp product has the following accession number(s) (GI #4501989) (NCBI Accession #NP_001125.1) (Uniprot Accession #P02771). Researchers may be interested in using Bioinformatics databases such as those available at The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website for more information about accession numbers and the proteins they represent. Even researchers unfamiliar with bioinformatics databases will find the NCBI databases to be quite user friendly and useful.

Please refer to the product datasheet for known applications of a given antibody. We\'ve tested the Mouse anti-Human Alpha-fetoprotein(AFP) Monoclonal Antibody with the following immunoassay(s):
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) (Immunohistochemistry of paraffin-embedded human liver using MBS1494468 in 30ug/ml dilute concentrations.)
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP, alpha-fetoprotein; also sometimes called alpha-1-fetoprotein, alpha-fetoglobulin, or alpha fetal protein) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AFP gene. The AFP gene is located on the q arm of chromosome 4 (4q25). AFP is a major plasma protein 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 bilirubin and is found in monomeric, dimeric and trimeric forms.

In general, we may offer more than one antibody to a given target to enable options for the researcher. Available antibodies recognizing AFP are readily searchable from our website. Different antibodies against the same target such as AFP may be optimized or tested for different applications and species. This enables researchers to select the option that may be best for their model system, to screen more than antibody to determine which one may be best for their model system, as well as to use more than one antibody to follow up on and validate their results. AFP also interacts with the following gene(s): CEBPA, EFNA1, FOXA1, FOXA3, FOXM1, JUN, MYC, TP53, UBC, ZFHX3. The following patways have been known to be associated with this gene. Blood, Brain, Embryonic Tissue, Heart, Kidney, Liver, Lung, Muscle, Placenta, Vascular tissues are correlated with this protein.
