Vectors for Human AFP

Gene Information

  • Offical Gene Symbol AFP
  • Species Human (Homo sapiens)
  • Offical Full Name alpha fetoprotein
  • Other Aliases AFPD; FETA; HPAFP
  • Other Desigations alpha-fetoprotein; alpha-1-fetoprotein; alpha-fetoglobulin
  • Gene Type protein-coding
  • Summary
    This gene encodes alpha-fetoprotein, a major plasma protein produced by the yolk sac and the liver during fetal life. Alpha-fetoprotein expression in adults is often associated with hepatocarcinoma and with teratoma, and has prognostic value for managing advanced gastric cancer. However, hereditary persistance of alpha-fetoprotein may also be found in individuals with no obvious pathology. The protein is thought to be the fetal counterpart of serum albumin, and the alpha-fetoprotein and albumin genes are present in tandem in the same transcriptional orientation on chromosome 4. Alpha-fetoprotein is found in monomeric as well as dimeric and trimeric forms, and binds copper, nickel, fatty acids and bilirubin. The level of alpha-fetoprotein in amniotic fluid is used to measure renal loss of protein to screen for spina bifida and anencephaly. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2019]
