Two clearly opposing views exist on the function of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), a fetal plasma protein that binds estrogens with high affinity, in the sexual differentiation of the rodent brain
From silver staining and MALDI-TOF analyses, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) precursor was identified as a main marker for the antioxidant effect of H-PE
The dissociation rate constants (k-1) of plasma alpha-fetoprotein-estradiol complexes measured at 0 degrees in the absence or presence of 0
METHODS: Serum samples and medical records were retrospectively analyzed from 100 gynecologic patients for whom quantitative hCG determination had been ordered

Irregular AFP levels in pregnant people can be a sign The binding affinity of estradiol for AFP (K d 10 −8 M) is lower than for its own receptor (K d 10 −11 M), stressing the importance of having excess levels of AFP during fetal development 17
The Elecsys AFP assay is intended for the in vitro quantitative determination of α 1-fetoprotein in human serum and plasma to aid in the management of patients with nonseminomatous germ cell tumors

The quad screen test is a maternal blood screening test that looks for four specific substances: AFP, hCG, Estriol, and Inhibin-A

A small amount crosses the membranes into the maternal circulation
AFP testing in conjunction with ultrasonography is used to
Reaction of picomolar quantities of human or rodent alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) with nanomolar quantities of 17 beta-estradiol (E2) generates a product of unknown structure, designated AFP/E2, that inhibits estrogen-stimulated growth of mouse uterus

Estradiol was one of the first markers identified in the serum of The two components are the estradiol receptor which has a sedimentation coefficient of 5
The free fraction of estradiol was low (less than 1%), but began rising at about 20 days of age, and a significant increase in nuclear bound estradiol was observed in 23-day Alpha-fetoprotein
During pregnancy, maternal serum levels of alpha-fetoprotein, an estradiol-binding protein, rise sharply
Measurements of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) are used as an aid in managing non-seminomatous testicular cancer when used in conjunction with physical examination, histology/pathology, and other clinical evaluation procedures
