General description
Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is a 66 kDa protein, which belongs to the family of serum albumin. It consists of three domains (I, II and III) and is the major protein found in circulatory system. BSA is an α-helical, globular and non-glycosylated protein, which has 17-disulfide bonds.
Application
Select the right albumin for your application with the Albumin Selection Guide
Albumin, Acetylated from bovine serum has been used:
- as a component of protease buffer for protease inhibition assay
- as a blocking agent in the preparation of cDNA glass array
- to select hybridoma antibodies sensitive to M-ficolin epitopes by immunofluorometric assay
Acetylated to inactivate nucleases commonly found in BSA. Acetylated BSA should not be used as a protein standard since acetylation of tyrosine residues prevents color development in the Lowry assay and other similar protein determinations.
