Product summary

α-Fetoprotein (AFP), the foetal equivalent to albumin, is a 67 kDa glycoprotein that is produced during embryonic development and is commonly detected in high concentrations in foetal serum and amniotic fluid. AFP is present in low concentrations in the serum of healthy, nonpregnant adults. Nevertheless, the serum of patients with cancer of the liver, testis, or ovary may exhibit a significant increase in AFP. The quantitative determination of AFP in serum may be beneficial in the management of patients with suspected or diagnosed liver cancer or germ cell tumors of the testis or ovary.
