General description
Albumin from rat serum comprises N-terminal signal and pro-peptide sequence. It has more tyrosine residues than human albumin and has a single tryptophan residue.
Application
Albumin from rat serum has been used:
- as a standard in rocket electrophoresis for quantification of cerebrospinal fluid and serum proteins
- in the preparation of Alexa Fluor 488 labeled fluorescent probe for confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) studies
- as a component of perfusate solution for suspending rat erythrocytes
Biochem/physiol Actions
Rat serum albumin (RSA) is useful for exogenous ligand transport studies. The tryptophan residue is useful in fluorescence spectroscopy measurements.
Preparation Note
Prepared from albumin (A6272).
