Afamin Antibodies

AND AFM ELISA kits, Afamin Proteins

Many biological assays use antibodies to detect Afamin, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with Afamin in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop Afamin antibodies...

We validate the specificity of these antibodies to Afamin by testing them on tissues known to express AFM positively and negatively. Browse below to find the AFM antibody that suites your experiment. We have 4 of these antibodies and many publications and validation images.

If you cannot find antibodies that fit your needs, contact us for making custom antibodies. We have a full suite of custom antibody services covering from research to diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

AFM Overview

Facts about Afamin.

AFM 3D structure. Source: alphafold

Afamin (AFM)

Functions as carrier for hydrophobic molecules in body fluids (Probable). Essential for the solubility and activity of lipidated Wnt family members, including WNT1, WNT2B, WNT3, WNT3A, WNT5A, WNT7A, WNT7B, WNT8, WNT9A, WNT9B, WNT10A and WNT10B (PubMed:26902720).

Binds vitamin E (PubMed:15952736, PubMed:12463752). May transfer vitamin E in your body fluids under conditions where the lipoprotein system isn't sufficient (PubMed:15952736).
