Gene(ID):
Expression:
P02771 FETA_HUMAN:

Plasma. Synthesized by the fetal liver and yolk sac.

Description:
This gene encodes alpha-fetoprotein,a major plasma protein produced by the yolk sac and the liver during fetal life. Alpha-fetoprotein expression in adults is often associated with hepatocarcinoma and with teratoma,and has prognostic value for managing advanced gastric cancer. However,hereditary persistance of alpha-fetoprotein may also be found in individuals with no obvious pathology. The protein is thought to be the fetal counterpart of serum albumin,and the alpha-fetoprotein and albumin genes are present in tandem in the same transcriptional orientation on chromosome 4. Alpha-fetoprotein is found in monomeric as well as dimeric and trimeric forms,and binds copper,nickel,fatty acids and bilirubin. The level of alpha-fetoprotein in amniotic fluid is used to measure renal loss of protein to screen for spina bifida and anencephaly.

Research Backgrounds

Function:

Binds copper, nickel, and fatty acids as well as, and bilirubin less well than, serum albumin. Only a small percentage (less than 2%) of the human AFP shows estrogen-binding properties.

PTMs:

Independent studies suggest heterogeneity of the N-terminal sequence of the mature protein and of the cleavage site of the signal sequence.

Sulfated.

Subcellular Location:

Secreted.

Tissue Specificity:

Plasma. Synthesized by the fetal liver and yolk sac.

Family&Domains:

Belongs to the ALB/AFP/VDB family.
