Anti-Afamin antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the AFM gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 599 amino acid residues and a mass of 69.1 kDa. It is known to be a secreted protein. A member of the ALB/AFP/VDB protein family, it is known to function as carrier for hydrophobic molecules in body fluids (Probable). Post-translational modifications have been described, including N-glycosylation. Other names for this target antigen include ALBA, ALF, alpha-Alb, alpha-albumin, vitamin E binding protein, and ALB2. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine and chimpanzee species. A number of Afamin antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
