Entrez gene summary

Albumin is a soluble, monomeric protein which comprises about one-half of the blood serum protein. Albumin functions primarily as a carrier protein for steroids, fatty acids, and thyroid hormones and plays a role in stabilizing extracellular fluid volume. Albumin is a globular unglycosylated serum protein of molecular weight 65,000. Albumin is synthesized in the liver as preproalbumin which has an N-terminal peptide that is removed before the nascent protein is released from the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The product, proalbumin, is in turn cleaved in the Golgi vesicles to produce the secreted albumin. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Staining summary

Distinct staining was observed in extracellular matrix and plasma. Strong immunoreactivity was observed in membranes and cytoplasm of pneumocytes and alveolar macrophages. Renal tubules, trophoblasts, bladder, breast and endometrium showed cytoplasmic and/or membranous positivity. Normal cells in general displayed weak staining or were negative.
