The Recombinant Human Fetuin A Protein manufactured by Seafrom is suitable for cell adhesion and inhibition of calcification. Human Fetuin A, also known as alpha 2-Heremans-Schmid glycoprotein, is encoded by the AHSG gene. It is a major plasma protein and a member of the cystatin superfamily of protease inhibitors. It is expressed by hepatocytes, the principal cell source, and by monocytes/macrophages. The major form of plasma Fetuin A corresponds to a disulfide bond-linked two chains derived from the single chain. It is highly expressed in embryonic cells and adult hepatocytes, and is expressed to a lesser extent in monocytes/macrophages. Human Fetuin A has several functions. It is a negative acute-phase protein with normal circulating levels in adults (300-600 μg/mL), which decrease significantly (30-50%) during injury and infection. It enhances the entry of cationic inhibitors into macrophages and inhibits both insulin receptor autophosphorylation and unwanted calcification. Additionally, it can act as a natural antagonist against specific TGF-β and BMP signaling proteins. Recombinant Human Fetuin A is a heterodimeric protein containing a 282 amino acid A chain and a 27 amino acid B chain. The calculated molecular weight of Recombinant Human Fetuin A is 32.9 kDa. Due to glycosylation, recombinant Fetuin A migrates at an apparent molecular weight of 45–55 kDa by SDS-PAGE run under non-reducing conditions. The lyophilized formulation can be stored at 4°C for 24 months. Once reconstituted, the liquid can be stored at -20°C for 6-12 months, while avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
