Indian Journal of Experimental Biology. 1990 Jul; 28(7): 697-8http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/60585Human alpha fetoprotein (AFP) binds bilirubin with an affinity somewhat lower than albumin. Free bilirubin was found to have an extinction maximum at 440 nm with an extinction coefficient of 4.97 x 10(4) M-1cm-1. AFP binding with the bile pigment elicits a blue shift while albumin interaction produced red spectral shift.engBilirubin --metabolismHumansProtein Bindingalpha-Fetoproteins --metabolismJournal Article
