The human glycoprotein afamin was discovered as the fourth member of the albumin gene
family. Despite intense research over the last 20 years, our knowledge of afamin's …

Background Comparative proteomics has recently identified afamin, the newest member of
the albumin gene family, as a potential biomarker for ovarian cancer. The aim of this study …

Background—Afamin is a human plasma vitamin E–binding glycoprotein primarily
expressed in the liver and secreted into the bloodstream. Because little is known about …

Aim Afamin is a liver-produced glycoprotein, a potential early marker of metabolic syndrome.
Here we investigated regulation of afamin in a course of the metabolic disease development …

Purpose: To discover and validate serum glycoprotein biomarkers in ovarian cancer using
proteomic-based approaches. Experimental Design: Serum samples from a “discovery set” …

Comparative proteomics identified the vitamin E-binding plasma protein afamin as a
potential novel tumor marker for ovarian cancer. In addition, we observed in a previous small …

Hydrophobic vitamins are transported in human plasma and extravascular fluids by carrier
proteins. No specific protein has been described so far for vitamin E, which plays a crucial …

Background: Afamin is a liver-produced bioactive protein and features α-and γ-tocopherol
binding sites. Afamin levels are elevated in metabolic syndrome and obesity and correlate …

OBJECTIVE The human vitamin E–binding glycoprotein afamin is primarily expressed in the
liver and has been associated with prevalent and incident metabolic syndrome. These data …

Background Afamin is a liver-derived plasma glycoprotein with vitamin E-binding properties
and a putative function in fertility. This study evaluated serum afamin concentrations during …
