Albumin, Human
Human Albumin has substantial value in physiochemical and immunochemical applications. Its stabilizing and growth supplement properties make albumin ideal for use in cell culture and other commercial applications in which expensive reagents, such as hormones, enzymes, and antibodies require stabilization or dilution to maintain their functional integrity for long periods of time.
This material is one of the few plasma proteins that is not a glycoprotein. Normal levels are approximately 5000 mg/dL. Albumin is also found in extravascular spaces of tissue where albumin functions as a transport protein.
