| Application: | Fetuin from fetal bovine serum has been used: • as a standard glycoprotein in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mas • as a ligand in carbohydrate binding assay of pertussis toxin vaccine • in the synthesis of fetuin-A conjugated gold nanoparticles (F-GNPs) for drug carrier studies |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | In humans, polymorphism in the fetuin gene is implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus and modulates adipocyte functionality. Elevated level of fetuin is observed in obesity and nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD). Fetuin is a potential marker in clinical diagnosis of metabolic disorders. |
| General description: | Fetuin is an abundant glycosylated protein from fetal bovine serum and functions as a transport and storage protein. It is also called the α2-Heremans-Schmid glycoprotein (AHSG) and corresponds to a molecular weight of 64 kDa. It belongs to the statin family and is synthesized principally in the liver and partially in the kidneys, placenta and the tongue. |
