Background

AFM (Afamin; also known as Alpha -Albumin) is a secreted monomeric glycoprotein of the Alb/Albumin family of molecules. It is expressed by hepatocytes (1), CNS endothelial cells (2) and osteoclasts (3), and circulates in the blood at low μg/mL concentrations. AFM is known to bind and transport vitamin E family molecules, playing an important role for transporting at the blood-brain-barrier (2). It also plays a role in maintaining solubility for transporting Wnt proteins (4, 5). AFM also serves as an osteoclast-derived chemoattractant for preosteoblasts, providing a rational for the observation that bone formation often follows bone resorption (3). Mature human AFM is 578 amino acids (aa) in length (aa 22-599). It contains three consecutive albumin domains (aa 36-206, aa 211-403 and aa 404-599) that contain a characteristic 5 or 6 intrachain disulfide bonds. Full-length human AFM shares 66% aa sequence identity with mouse AFM and 67% aa sequence identity with rat AFM. The importance of Afamin in transport of molecules has led to a suggested diagnostic role in various diseases, including pre-eclampsia (6), ovarian cancer (7), and both gestational and type-2 diabetes (8, 9).
