Albumin, Bovine Serum
Bovine serum albumin is a protein whose key biological function is to regulate the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood. BSA is widely used in various studies and applications. Made up of 583 amino acids,[2][3] BSA is a water-soluble protein with a calculated molecular weight of 66,430 Da. Six α-helices form three homologous domains of BSA. Depending on pH, it undergoes reversible conformational isomerization. The native structure of the protein becomes reactive and flexible on heating.[4]
Bovine Serum Albumin is used for many applications, including the following applications:
• BSA has been used in cell culture, e.g. as a supplement in media prepared for culturing of oligodendrocytes.[1]
• BSA
has been used for the dilution of primary antibody solution in immunohistochemistry procedures.[5]
• BSA has been used as a standard in the Bradford method of protein quantification.[6]
• BSA has been used in blocking and permeabilization buffer for immunofluorescence studies.[7]
