General description

Highest quality for fatty acid and lipid research.
BSA is a single polypeptide chain consisting of about 583 amino acid residues and no carbohydrates. At pH 5-7, it contains 17 intra-chain disulfide bridges and one sulfhydryl group.

Application

Bovine Serum Albumin, Fraction V, fatty acid free is used:
  • in lipid research to study lipid metabolism in biological systems
  • to identify transport mechanisms in living organisms
  • to study ligand binding
  • to investigate ionic binding
  • in the preparation of solutions during isolation of cardiomyocytes
  • as a blocking solution to incubate embryos for immunofluorescence
  • in dual polarisation interferometry (DPI) to study the interaction between membrane active peptides and artificial bilayers

Biochem/physiol Actions

The fatty acids that are insoluble in circulating plasma are transported primarily by serum albumin. The human serum albumin and bovine serum albumin share 76% sequence homology. Being the most abundant protein in the circulatory system, it participates in the maintenance of blood pH and carries several endogenous and exogenous compounds, including fatty acids, metal, amino acids, steroids and drugs.

Features and Benefits

  • Free from fatty acids according to current quality control procedures (suitable for lipid research)
  • High quality
  • Low content of heavy metal ions
  • Long-term stability

Quality

Purity: ≥98.5 % albumin (electrophoresis), 98% protein
Contaminants: <0.2 mg fatty acids/g, triglycerides not detectable (enzymatic), immunoglobulins not detectable (Ouchterlony), ≤5% H2O,≤30 ppm heavy metals

Disruption of the creatine kinase (CK) system in hearts of CK-deficient mice leads to changes in the ultrastructure and regulation of mitochondrial respiration. We expected to see similar changes in creatine-deficient mice, which lack the enzyme guanidinoacetate methyltransferase (GAMT) to

Human studies consistently show an association between exposure to persistent organic pollutants, including 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD, aka "dioxin"), and increased diabetes risk. We previously showed that a single high-dose TCDD exposure (20 µg/kg) decreased plasma insulin levels in male and female

To survive in an ever-changing environment, animals must detect and learn salient information. The anterior insular cortex (aIC) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) are heavily implicated in salience and novelty processing, and specifically, the processing of taste sensory information. Here
