Overview
Albumin, making up 55 to 62% of the serum protein, is one of the few carbohydrate-free proteins in blood plasma that plays an important role in maintaining the colloidal osmotic pressure. Albumin also acts as a plasma carrier of several hydrophobic steroid hormones and as a transport protein for hemin and fatty acids. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is a small (~66.5 kDa), stable, moderately non-reactive protein that has been utilized in numerous biochemical applications including ELISA, Western blot, immunohistochemistry, etc. BSA enable to increase antibody functionality and longevity and serves as both a standard in protein quantitation and a stabilizing component in DNA blunt end and replacement assays. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) conjugates are commonly used as tracers in applications where physical dimensions are important. Specifically, fluorescent BSA conjugates have been used in many applications such as quantitative studies of electroporation, measurement of plasma volume, intra cellular protein processing. BioActs provides a wide range of fluorophore-conjugated BSA analogs as well-defined molecular weight tracers for a variety of applications.
