Recombinant Mouse Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP), C-His

Mouse Alpha-Fetoprotein, or AFP, is a protein produced during embryonic development, serving as a biomarker for liver diseases and certain cancers. In mouse models, AFP is used to study liver disease progression and monitor treatment efficacy. Elevated levels of AFP are often indicative of conditions such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The protein is also involved in various physiological processes during embryogenesis, including immune system modulation and cell proliferation. In cancer research, AFP has been explored as a target for immunotherapy, as it can be recognized by the immune system in some patients. Furthermore, the study of AFP expression patterns in different tissues and developmental stages helps in understanding the molecular basis of liver pathologies and in developing diagnostic tools for early detection of liver diseases.
