General description
Albumin, the most abundant plasma protein (60%), is synthesized in the liver. It performs several functions. Porcine serum albumin (PSA), a globular protein, is a major allergen in pork.
Application
Albumin from porcine serum:
- may be used in metal competition studies to get loaded with copper(II)/Cu(II) for affinity constant measurements and to investigate its secondary specific Cu(II) binding site
- has been used as a macromolecule marker for colostrum feeding and as a purified antigen to measure porcine serum albumin (PSA) in milk and plasma by quantitative immunoelectrophoresis
- has been used in the production of anti-albumin antisera for the detection of meats of different animal species in commercial hamburger samples using dot-ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay)
