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).
