BSA Antibody (YA4608)

BSA Antibody (YA4608) is a mouse-derived and non-conjugated IgG1 antibody, targeting to BSA. It can be applicated for WB, ELISA assays, in the background of species independent.

BSA is a multifunctional plasma protein that binds water, Ca²⁺, Na(+), K(+), fatty acids, hormones, bilirubin, and drugs. Its primary role is regulating blood colloidal osmotic pressure. As the major zinc transporter in plasma, it typically binds about 80% of plasma zinc (By similarity). It also serves as the principal calcium and magnesium transporter, binding approximately 45% of circulating calcium and magnesium (Probable). BSA potentially has more than two calcium-binding sites and may additionally bind calcium nonspecifically (PubMed:22677715). The shared zinc-calcium binding site at residue Asp-272 suggests crosstalk between zinc and calcium transport in blood (Probable). Binding affinity follows the order: zinc > calcium > magnesium (Probable). Additionally, BSA binds the bacterial siderophore enterobactin, inhibiting enterobactin-mediated iron uptake in E. coli, potentially limiting iron utilization and growth of enteric bacteria like E. coli (PubMed:6234017), though it does not interfere with aerobactin-mediated iron uptake (PubMed:6234017).
