Cat#:EIA-339C;Product Name:Mouse Albumin ELISA Kit;Size:96 T;Sample:serum; plasma; and urine;Intended use:RUO;Synonym:Alb; albumin; Alb1; Alb-1; serum albumin; serum albumin; albumin 1; EC 6.1.1.16;Background:Albumin is a major intravascular and extravascular proteinproduced in the liver and accounts for about 60% of the totalprotein in plasma. In the plasma; it is the major componentthat contributes to the plasma osmotic pressure. In addition toits role in maintaining osmotic pressure; albumin also plays arole in binding and transport of many molecules such as endogenousmetabolites; bilirubin; calcium; progesterone; andvarious drugs. As a major source of sulphydryl groups; albuminis an important scavenger of free radicals. Along withother plasma proteins; albumin can also function as an acidor base to act as buffer in the blood. Unlike other plasmacomponents such as glucose; fatty acids; and amino acids;albumin is not used by the cells as fuel or nutrients and is notcatabolised during starvation. Hypoalbuminemia is an indicatorof poor liver function; but low serum albumin can also indicatemalnutrition; and kidney disease. There are no pathologicalconditions that cause the liver to produce excess albumin;increased levels of albumin reflect dehydration. Standardmethods for the measurement of serum albumin include radialimmunodiffusion; dye binding reactions; electrophoresis;and ELISA.;Species Reactivity:mouse;Application:Quantitative;Storage:Unopened Kit: Store at 2 - 8°C.
