ABMIUM target intelligence
alpha 2-HS glycoprotein
AHSG encodes alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein (fetuin-A), a secreted serum glycoprotein synthesized by hepatocytes and concentrated in bone matrix. The AHSG/fetuin-A target is studied in mineral handling, calcification, bone biology and metabolic or inflammatory physiology.

Research context & evidence
Target information is kept separate from product-level validation so you can review the biology and the reagent evidence independently.
Alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein (AHSG; fetuin-A) is a secreted plasma glycoprotein with calcium-binding and opsonic properties. Reviewed UniProt annotations support roles in endocytosis, influence on the mineral phase of bone and regulation of bone mineralization.
AHSG/fetuin-A is studied in mineral metabolism, extracellular calcification, bone-matrix biology and metabolic or inflammatory physiology. ABMIUM products linked to AHSG support research use; confirm species, application, sample type and product-level validation for the intended experiment.
