Crystal Structure of Bovine Serum Albumin in complex with 3,5-diiodosalicylic acid
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 23769932
Function
[ALBU_BOVIN] 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.
About this Structure
4jk4 is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Bos taurus. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
