This protein functions in the regulation of blood plasma colloid osmotic pressure and acts as a carrier protein for a wide range of endogenous molecules including hormones, fatty acids, and metabolites, as well as exogenous drugs. Additionally, this protein exhibits an esterase-like activity with broad substrate specificity. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protein. A peptide derived from this protein, EPI-X4, is an endogenous inhibitor of the CXCR4 chemokine receptor. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]. * **<color #00a2e8>UniProt Summary</color>**: Serum albumin, the main protein of plasma, has a good binding capacity for water, Ca(2+), Na(+), K(+), fatty acids, hormones, bilirubin and drugs. Its main function is the regulation of the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood. Major zinc transporter in plasma, typically binds about 80% of all plasma zinc. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19021548}. <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='Pfam_Domains'>Pfam Domains</button> <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='GO_terms'>GO Terms</button> <modal id='Pfam_Domains' size='lg' title='Pfam Domains'> |Serum albumin| </modal> <modal id='GO_terms' size='lg' title='GO Terms'> |exogenous protein binding| |enterobactin binding| |maintenance of mitochondrion location| |toxic substance binding| |maintenance of organelle location| |negative regulation of protein oligomerization| |high-density lipoprotein particle remodeling| |antioxidant activity| |fatty acid binding| |plasma lipoprotein particle remodeling| |protein-lipid complex remodeling| |protein-containing complex remodeling| |oxygen binding| |regulation of protein oligomerization| |plasma lipoprotein particle organization| |mitochondrion localization| |protein-lipid complex subunit organization| |pyridoxal phosphate binding| |copper ion binding| |drug binding| |platelet alpha granule lumen| |regulation of plasma lipoprotein particle levels| |retina homeostasis| |cellular oxidant detoxification| |maintenance of location in cell| |cellular detoxification| |chaperone binding| |detoxification| |platelet degranulation| |negative regulation of protein complex assembly| |blood microparticle| |cellular response to starvation| |maintenance of location| |tissue homeostasis| |response to starvation| |cellular response to toxic substance| |cellular response to nutrient levels| |receptor-mediated endocytosis| |cellular response to extracellular stimulus| |endoplasmic reticulum lumen| |multicellular organismal homeostasis| |cellular response to external stimulus| |anatomical structure homeostasis| |post-translational protein modification| |extracellular structure organization| |regulation of protein complex assembly| |response to nutrient levels| |response to toxic substance| |response to extracellular stimulus| |endocytosis| |organelle localization| |protein-containing complex| |import into cell| |regulated exocytosis| |negative regulation of cellular component organization| |exocytosis| |zinc ion binding| |negative regulation of apoptotic process| |negative regulation of programmed cell death| |regulation of cellular component biogenesis| |Golgi apparatus| |negative regulation of cell death| |secretion by cell| |endoplasmic reticulum| |export from cell| |identical protein binding| |secretion| |DNA binding| |regulation of apoptotic process| |regulation of programmed cell death| |extracellular space| |homeostatic process| |regulation of cell death| |cellular response to stress| |protein-containing complex subunit organization| |extracellular region| |vesicle-mediated transport| </modal> \\ === CRISPR Data === <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Compound_Hit'>Compound Hit</button> <button type='default' size='small' modal='Most_Correlated_Genes'>Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics</button> <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Essential_Avana'>Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)</button> <modal id='Compound_Hit' size='lg' title='Compound Hit'> ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp346|CoCl2 18μM R07 exp346]]|1.92| </modal> <modal id='Most_Correlated_Genes' size='lg' title='Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics'> No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics. </modal> <modal id='Essential_Avana' size='lg' title='Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)'> Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 0/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/28| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|0/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|0/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| </modal> == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **<color #00a2e8>Essentiality Rank</color>**: 15200 * **<color #00a2e8>Expression level (log2 read counts)</color>**: -5.01 <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Dist_expr'>Expression Distribution</button> <modal id='Dist_expr' size='lg' title='ALB Expression in NALM6 Cells: -5.01'> {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}} </modal> Last modified: 2026/01/07 22:36by 127.0.0.1
