Application

Anti-Human Albumin antibody has been used in enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and in immobilization of antibodies for human serum albumin (HSA).

Rat hepatocytes were grown on collagen-coated coverslips, fixed in formalin and permeablized with methanol prior to incubation with rabbit anti-human albumin antibody.

Anti-human albumin antibody may be used in quantitative precipitin assay, high-throughput protein microarray analysis and immunocytochemistry .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Albumin is a transport protein that binds a broad range of ligands such as fatty acids, bilirubin, hemin, drugs, amino acids and ions among several others . Albumin may also function as a zinc carrier protein and consequently regulate physiological processes .

Albumin plays a major role in transportation and deposition of many exogenous and endogenous substances in blood.
