High impact information on ALB

  • Interestingly at later developmental stages, the expression pattern of Id3 is complementary to that of Albumin, a marker of mature hepatocytes [1].
  • Hence, FIB, ALB, and CK19 expression can be used to trace hepatic induction, maturation, and bile duct differentiation, respectively [2].
  • 1. Albumin mRNA is first detectable in vascular yolk sac on the third day of egg incubation, increases to peak level on day 14 and declines to zero by day 19 [3].
