General description
Albumin from rat serum (RSA) comprises an N-terminal signal and propeptide sequence.[1] RSA sequence has a single tryptophan residue.[2]
Application
Albumin from rat serum has been used:
in sulfo-4-(N-maleimidomethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylic,acid 3-sulfo-N-hydroxy-succinimide ester sodium salt (SMCC) derivatization studies[3]
as a component of dispersion media for the suspension of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)[4]
as a macromolecular probe in microvascular solute flux measurements[5]
Biochem/physiol Actions
Albumin from rat serum (RSA) mediates the transport of exogenous ligands. It is useful in fluorescence spectroscopy measurements with small-molecule ligands.[2]
