Article Synopsis
- Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a protein similar to serum albumin, primarily produced in the fetal liver and yolk sac, peaking in concentration towards the end of the first trimester before declining after birth.
- AFP has three binding pockets for interacting with other biomolecules and features sites for phosphorylation and acetylation, influencing various physiological and pathological processes.
- Elevated levels of AFP in the blood are a known biomarker for certain cancers, including yolk sac, embryonal, and hepatocellular carcinoma, and the review discusses its chemical properties, receptors, and clinical significance in cancer treatment.
