AFP analysis
(Alpha-fetoprotein) and glycoprotein formed during the pregnancy. This analysis is used to diagnose various congenital diseases in the fetus. It is also used to predict the possibility of some cancerous tumors, such as liver cell carcinoma and other uses.
Alfavito is a protein produced in the body through genetic translation into the gene (AFP). It is considered to be one of the main producing proteins through the liver and cerebral sac during fetal development. It is believed to be the embryonic counterpart found in the albumin plasma. The alpha- Are found together with each other in the fourth chromosome. In addition, alpha-Vito protein has been detected in mono, bipolar and triglyceride form and is associated with nickel, copper, bilirubin and fatty acids.
As for the human being, the fetus contains a large number of alpha-phyto protein, which falls rapidly gradually after birth and reaches a low level, although it can be measured during the period (8 – year), as well as the possibility of measurement in adults also where there is no greater level Of the (500) nano-gram / milliliter in adults of vitro protein only in some cases including:
- In the case of sexual cell tumors.
- In case of liver cancer.
- In addition to liver cancer that is the result of other tumors.
- The measurement of alpha fetus protein in the pregnant woman either using the mother blood sample or by the fluid that is surrounding the fetus, this is when the detection of abnormalities of the fetus during its growth, as the rise leads to defects in the neural tube, and low causes Down syndrome, and possible In the process of measuring non-pregnant women and children and adults in order to detect some tumors where a biological agent to detect it.
Alpha-Vito is a protein containing 591 amino acids in addition to carbohydrate. Alpha-Vito is a cancer-fighting protein that activates peptide and is produced in the fetus by the sacral sac, liver, intestinal tract, Protein at the end of the last three months in pregnancy and then less then the reason that the fetus is released through the urine, and alpha levels of fetal protein decreases in mothers compared to the fetus.
