Albumin is the most abundant plasma protein in mice, as in humans, synthesized primarily by the liver. It plays a crucial role in maintaining oncotic pressure, transporting small molecules and drugs, and acting as an antioxidant. Changes in albumin levels reflect alterations in liver function, nutritional status, or systemic inflammation, making it a key biomarker for general health and metabolic homeostasis.
In research settings, mouse albumin is widely used to study liver physiology, protein metabolism, kidney function, and systemic inflammatory responses. Albumin measurements are commonly employed in models of liver injury, nephropathy, sepsis, or malnutrition. In addition, recombinant or labeled mouse albumin can be used as a tracer in vascular permeability studies, pharmacokinetics, and drug delivery research.
In clinical and translational contexts, assessment of mouse albumin serves as a preclinical analog for human conditions such as hypoalbuminemia, liver disease, and kidney disorders. Monitoring albumin in plasma or urine allows researchers to evaluate organ function, disease progression, and therapeutic efficacy in animal models. These measurements provide critical data for understanding pathophysiology and for bridging findings from preclinical studies to human applications.
