background

Alpha-fetoprotein is a shuttle protein that delivers nutrients through receptor-mediated endocytosis to embryotic cells. In adults, alpha-fetoprotein can shuttle drugs into alpha-fetoprotein receptor-positive myeloid-derived suppressor, regenerating and also cancer cells. Drugs with high-binding affinity to alpha-fetoprotein can activate or deplete targeted cells. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells activation leads to immune suppression that can be used for treating autoimmune diseases.

molecular weight

The protein has a predicted MW of 67.6 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 68-72 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Protein names
Alpha-fetoprotein (Alpha-1-fetoprotein) (Alpha-fetoglobulin)
Gene names
AFP,AFP HPAFP
Protein family
ALB/AFP/VDB family
Mass
68678Da
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.
Subellular location
Secreted.
Tissues
Plasma. Synthesized by the fetal liver and yolk sac.
Structure
Dimeric and trimeric forms have been found in addition to the monomeric form.
Post-translational modification
Independent studies suggest heterogeneity of the N-terminal sequence of the mature protein and of the cleavage site of the signal sequence.; Sulfated.
