Serum Albumin/ALB Protein, Mouse (P.pastoris, His)

Serum albumin/ALB protein binds to various substances including water, calcium, sodium, potassium, fatty acids, hormones, bilirubin, and drugs. Its main function is to regulate blood osmotic pressure and transport zinc, calcium, and magnesium. Serum Albumin/ALB Protein, Mouse (P.pastoris, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived Serum Albumin/ALB protein, expressed by P. pastoris , with N-6*His labeled tag. The total length of Serum Albumin/ALB Protein, Mouse (P.pastoris, His) is 584 a.a., with molecular weight of ~67.9 kDa.

Serum Albumin/ALB Protein is a versatile protein that binds to water, calcium, sodium, potassium, fatty acids, hormones, bilirubin, and drugs. Its primary role is to regulate the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood. It is the major transporter of zinc in plasma, binding to approximately 80% of all plasma zinc. Similarly, it is the major transporter of calcium and magnesium, binding to approximately 45% of circulating calcium and magnesium in plasma. It may have more than two calcium-binding sites and could also bind calcium in a non-specific manner. The shared binding site between zinc and calcium suggests a potential interaction and transport mechanism between these two elements in the blood. Additionally, ALB binds to the bacterial siderophore enterobactin, inhibiting its ability to facilitate iron uptake by E.coli from ferric transferrin. This limitation of iron utilization may restrict the growth of enteric bacteria such as E.coli. However, ALB does not hinder iron uptake facilitated by the bacterial siderophore aerobactin. ALB also interacts with FCGRT, regulating its own homeostasis, and interacts with TASOR. In plasma, it forms a covalently-linked complex with chromophore-bound alpha-1-microglobulin, but this interaction does not interfere with the binding of fatty acids to ALB.
