Fetuin (Fetal Bovine Serum)

SKU: orb2567421

Description

Fetuin, a glycoprotein derived from fetal bovine serum (AHSG gene product), is a key cell culture additive that supports adhesion and growth. It is widely used in in vitro studies of calcification, TGF-β signaling, and insulin resistance, based on its roles as a mineralization inhibitor and protease antagonist.

Bioactivity

• In Vitro:
  Fetuin (Fetal Bovine Serum) is commonly used as a key additive in serum-free culture media . Fetuin (Fetal Bovine Serum) is an acidic glycoprotein containing three N-linked and three O-linked oligosaccharide chains. Its terminal sugar residues are rich in sialic acid (N-acetylneuraminic acid), thus carrying a net negative charge .
