Summary: This gene encodes albumin, an abundant plasma protein essential for maintaining oncotic pressure that functions as a carrier protein for various molecules such as steriods and fatty acids in blood. This gene is primarily expressed in liver where the encoded protein undergoes proteolytic processing before secretion into the plasma. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]
Expression: Biased expression in liver adult (RPKM 14891.4), liver E14.5 (RPKM 6823.5) and 1 other tissue See more

WTAP contributes to the tumorigenesis of osteosarcoma via modulating ALB in an m6A-dependent manner.
Title: WTAP contributes to the tumorigenesis of osteosarcoma via modulating ALB in an m6A-dependent manner.
Study shows that P573 of mouse serum albumin (MSA) is crucial for strong neonatal Fc receptor binding and that the single amino acid difference between human serum albumin (K573) and MSA at this position contributes greatly to distinct cross species binding which should be taken into consideration in design of albumin-based drugs and evaluation in mouse models.
Title: Human and mouse albumin bind their respective neonatal Fc receptors differently.
Knockout of FcRn leads to IgG accumulation in podocytes but does not alter albumin trafficking.
Title: Differential trafficking of albumin and IgG facilitated by the neonatal Fc receptor in podocytes in vitro and in vivo.
findings suggest that HMGB1 induces the transcytosis of albumin via RAGE-dependent Src phosphorylation and Cav-1 phosphorylation. These studies revealed a new mechanism of HMGB1-induced endothelial hyperpermeability.
Title: High Mobility Group Box Protein 1 Boosts Endothelial Albumin Transcytosis through the RAGE/Src/Caveolin-1 Pathway.
Urinary L-FABP, NGAL, Kim-1 and albumin levels increased during the acute phase of kidney injury and were significantly correlated with the degree of tubulointerstitial fibrosis during the chronic phase. These markers could detect higher risk of progression to CKD.
Title: Increase in urinary markers during the acute phase reflects the degree of chronic tubulointerstitial injury after ischemia-reperfusion renal injury.
Extending serum half-life of albumin by engineering neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) binding.
Title: Extending serum half-life of albumin by engineering neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) binding.
We provide evidence of a transcytosis within the kidney tubular system that protects albumin and IgG from lysosomal degradation, allowing these proteins to be recycled intact.
Title: Albumin is recycled from the primary urine by tubular transcytosis.
albumin may play a distinct role in adipocyte differentiation by promoting lipid accumulation.
Title: Albumin expression is required for adipocyte differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells.
No binding of albumin was observed at physiological pH to neonatal Fc receptor. At acidic pH, a 100-fold difference in binding affinity was observed.
Title: Cross-species binding analyses of mouse and human neonatal Fc receptor show dramatic differences in immunoglobulin G and albumin binding.
albumin enhancer/promoter was succesfully used for trasient transfection of fluorescent gene reporters (for cell sorting) in ES spontaneously differentiated into hepatocytes.
Title: Transient gene delivery for functional enrichment of differentiating embryonic stem cells.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
