  • Title: Comparison of bilirubin binding and other molecular properties of the serum albumin of several mammalian species.
    Author: Rashid H, Muzammil S, Tayyab S.
    Journal: Biochem Mol Biol Int; 1998 Jan; 44(1):165-73. PubMed ID: 9503160.
    Abstract:
    In order to develop an animal model for in vivo testing of the displacing action of various drugs and for study of the bilirubin deposition in the brain, some molecular properties of the serum albumin from different species i.e. pig, cat, human, dog, sheep, guinea pig and rat were investigated. These albumins were found to have differences in molecular weight, Stokes radius and electrophoretic mobility. They also showed different bilirubin binding characteristics when studied by spectroscopy and fluorescence quenching. It is therefore, necessary to consider the species differences when results of animal experimentation are used as a basis for the investigation of human kernicterus.
