Description

Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is a 66 kDa globular protein abundant in the blood. Albumins contain high affinity binding sites for many cellular metabolites such as long chain fatty acids, vitamins, hormones and metal ions and deliver them to the cells by passage from the capillary lumen through the endothelium into the intersticial space. Fluorescence conjugates of albumin are used not only to reveal the physiology of albumin within the tissues, but above all as probes to study various types of endocytosis.

The reagent is intended for investigation of endocytosis and endocytic recycling pathways in mammals.
