AZGP1
Sign in to saveAlso known as ZA2G, ZAG, alpha-2-glycoprotein 1, zinc-binding
Zinc-alpha-2-glycoprotein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AZGP1 gene. AZGP1, also referred to as zinc-alpha-2-glycoprotein (ZAG), is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 38-40 kDa. In 1961, AZGP1 was initially isolated from normal human plasma and named as ZAG due to its distinctive electrophoretic mobility within the alpha-2 region and its ability to bind to zinc. Subsequent analysis further identified its specific location on a particular chromosome on chromosome 7q22.1 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. AZGP1 is widely expressed in various tissues and body fluids, inc
