Supplementary information

AFM also known as Afamin is a glycoprotein assigned to the albumin family. Its molecular mass is approximately 87 kDa. This protein is mainly expressed in the liver and secreted into the bloodstream. It possesses binding affinity for vitamin E which suggests a role in transport and metabolic processes. It shares structural similarities with other proteins in the albumin family contributing to its functional versatility.
Biological function summary

AFM plays a central role in the transport of lipids and vitamins particularly vitamin E throughout the body. It acts independently and does not participate in large protein complexes. AFM shows interactions with other lipid-binding proteins modulating their activities and ensuring efficient distribution of essential nutrients. Such interactions highlight the importance of AFM in maintaining cellular homeostasis and protecting cells from oxidative damage.

Pathways

AFM actively participates in metabolic and vitamin transport pathways collaborating with proteins like albumin and transthyretin. It notably influences lipid metabolism and antioxidative pathways thereby contributing to overall cellular defense mechanisms. AFM's functionality intertwines with the activities of these proteins indicating its essential role in finely tuned biological processes especially those involving lipid and vitamin management.

AFM has associations with metabolic and neurodegenerative conditions. Altered levels of AFM can correlate with diseases like type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. It interacts with other relevant proteins such as apolipoproteins impacting disease progression and symptomatology. These connections suggest that AFM could potentially be a biomarker or therapeutic target for managing such disorders opening avenues for future research and treatment strategies.

General info

Function

Functions as a carrier for hydrophobic molecules in body fluids (Probable). Essential for the solubility and activity of lipidated Wnt family members, including WNT1, WNT2B, WNT3, WNT3A, WNT5A, WNT7A, WNT7B, WNT8, WNT9A, WNT9B, WNT10A and WNT10B (PubMed : 26902720). Binds vitamin E (PubMed : 12463752, PubMed : 15952736). May transport vitamin E in body fluids under conditions where the lipoprotein system is not sufficient (PubMed : 15952736). May be involved in the transport of vitamin E across the blood-brain barrier (PubMed : 19046407).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the ALB/AFP/VDB family.

Post-translational modifications

N-glycosylated; more than 90% of the glycans are sialylated.
