Native human prealbumin, also known as transthyretin, is a homotetrameric serum and cerebrospinal fluid protein which acts as a carrier for the thyroid hormone thyroxine. Each monomer is a 127 amino acid polypeptide. Prealbumin is synthesised principally in the liver and choroid plexus from where it is secreted into the serum and cerebrospinal fluid respectively.

Product Details

Target Species
Human
Product Form
Purified protein from human serum - lyophilized
Reconstitution
Reconstitute with 1.0 ml sterile PBS. Care should be taken during reconstitution as the protein may appear as a film at the bottom of the vial. Bio-Rad recommend that the vial is gently mixed after reconstitution.
Buffer Solution
0.02M Ammonium bicarbonate (NH4HCO3).
Preservative Stabilisers
None present
Purity
>96%

SDS-PAGE confirms prealbumin as the major component. Under certain conditions dimer and monomer subunits can be seen. Cellulose acetate electrophoresis shows one band only with a higher electrophoretic mobility than albumin.
Approx. Protein Concentrations
Total protein concentration 1.0 mg/ml after reconstitution.
Protein Molecular Weight
60 kDa (tetramer)
