Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a secreted foetal plasma glycoprotein related to serum albumin. It is produced predominantly during embryonic and foetal development, particularly by the yolk sac and foetal liver, and circulates extracellularly; concentrations in healthy adults are normally low.
Boster Bio’s Anti-alpha 1 Fetoprotein/AFP Antibody Picoband® is a rabbit polyclonal antibody raised against a recombinant fragment of human AFP spanning Gln378–Val609. It provides a target-specific primary antibody for research detection of AFP.

AFP (alpha fetoprotein; alpha-fetoprotein) encodes a major fetal plasma protein produced predominantly by the yolk sac and fetal liver. An albumin-family protein, AFP binds fatty acids, bilirubin and several metal ions and is widely studied in fetal development and liver biology.
Biological function: Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a secreted fetal plasma protein structurally related to serum albumin. It binds fatty acids, bilirubin, copper and nickel and functions as a carrier protein during fetal life, with high production by the yolk sac and fetal liver before expression falls after birth.
