Description

F protein is a 44 kD cytoplasmic protein of unknown function which is found mostly in the liver and circulates at much lower concentration in the serum. Serum F protein has been measured using a sensitive radioimmunoassay. The protein concentration in sera from 36 healthy humans is 186 +- 31 ng/ml and are abnormally higher for 52 out of 58 patients (89.6%) with hepatocellular diseases. This new marker may be of value in the diagnosis and treatment of liver damage
