P02771 FETA_HUMAN:

Plasma. Synthesized by the fetal liver and yolk sac.

Description:
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a 65 kDa glycoprotein found in the serum of the mammalian fetal liver, yolk sac, and GI tract. While AFP expression in adult cells is low, it is aberrantly expressed in adult liver cancer cells (1,2). The tumor suppressor gene p53 and β-catenin are both involved in the regulation of AFP expression. In normal adult cells, p53 binds to the repressor region of the AFP gene, thereby blocking transcription. Mutations in both p53 and β-catenin are associated with aberrant expression of AFP. Elevated serum levels are predictive of hepatocellular carcinoma (3).

Research Backgrounds

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.

PTMs:

Independent studies suggest heterogeneity of the N-terminal sequence of the mature protein and of the cleavage site of the signal sequence.

Sulfated.

Subcellular Location:

Secreted.

Tissue Specificity:

Plasma. Synthesized by the fetal liver and yolk sac.

Subunit Structure:

Dimeric and trimeric forms have been found in addition to the monomeric form.

Family&Domains:

Belongs to the ALB/AFP/VDB family.
