Application

Bovine Serum Albumin solution has been used:as one of the experimental components to resemble the plasma-protein-rich acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) edema liquidto prepare embryos for fluorescent staining of the actin cytoskeletonin tissue culture and neurite outgrowth assay

Biochem/physiol Actions

Serum Albumin regulates the osmotic pressure and pH of the blood. It transports various endogenous and exogenous compounds such as amino acids, drugs, steroids, and fatty acids. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) serves as a molecular weight standard, standard in vaccine preparation, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

General description

Serum Albumin is a protein widely present in the circulating blood. Albumin has a helical structure with three domains that form a heart-like shape. It belongs to the four-member albumin superfamily.
