Alpha-1-Fetoprotein (DA120)
Alpha-1-Fetoprotein (DA120)
Recombinant monoclonal rabbit antibody
Description
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a fetal tumor-associated polypeptide of the albuminoid gene family that binds and transports molecules in addition to many other proposed functions.1 This secretory protein is produced by the fetal yolk sac and liver but is found only in trace amounts in adult liver.2 AFP expression by immunohistochemistry is seen in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).3
