1 Human alpha-fetoprotein has been isolated from the serum and ascitic fluid of a patient with hepatoma by a combination of immunoadsorbent column chromatography and Sephadex G-150 gel filtration. sephadex alpha fetoprotein Homo sapiens
2 Human alpha-fetoprotein is a sialylated glycoprotein with an estimated molecular weight of 67 500, composed of a single-chain polypeptide of approximately 580 amino acid residues and 3.6% carbohydrate. Carbohydrates alpha fetoprotein Homo sapiens
3 In addition to the monomeric form of alpha-fetoprotein, we have identified human alpha-fetoprotein polymers, including dimeric and trimeric forms, which dissociate to the monomer only upon exposure to disulfide-reducing reagents, implying that their formation is dependent upon intermolecular disulfide bonds. Disulfides alpha fetoprotein Homo sapiens
