Description / Fetoprotein alpha
Alpha-Fetal Protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AFP gene. The AFP gene is located on the q arm of chromosome 4 (4q25). AFP is a major plasma protein produced by the yolk sac and the liver during fetal development that is thought to be the fetal form of serum albumin. AFP binds to copper, nickel, fatty acids and bilirubin and is found in monomeric, dimeric and trimeric forms αFetoprotein is a major plasma protein in the fetus. Its concentration is normally low in the adult except when produced by certain tumors.
