  • Title: Binding of fatty acids and tryptophan to alpha-fetoprotein from fetal pigs.
    Author: Ingvarsson BI, Carlsson RN.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1978 Dec 20; 537(2):507-9. PubMed ID: 83161.
    Abstract:
    Using gel electrophoresis and autoradiography, we have shown that plamitic, stearic, oleic and arachidonic acids as well as tryptophan bind to alpha-fetoprotein derived from fetal swine serum. It is also shown that these ligands bind to albumin from both fetal and adult swine serum. The results suggest that alpha-fetoprotein in the fetus has transport functions similar to albumin in the adult.
