Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) is a globular non-glycosylated protein that encompasses structurally distinct domains (I, II, and III) with two sub-domains, A and B within each domain. Structurally, BSA is an α-helical protein with 17 cysteine residues.

Bovine Serum Albumin has been used:

• as a component of the minimal liquid medium to culture Porphyromonas gingivalis strains
• as a standard protein to quantify microsomes homogenate using Bradford method
• as a blocking agent in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) of fecal lactoferrin

BSA的某些构象和初级序列表位是人类对牛肉和牛奶过敏中的可疑过敏原。

Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) is widely used in drugs and antibody delivery. It also finds applications in nanoparticle preparations and is useful in targeting tumor tissues. BSA is non-immunogenic and non-toxic. It also shows binding with metal ions.

血清白蛋白可能也会被称为Fraction V。该命名惯例取自使用冷乙醇沉淀对血清蛋白进行分级的原始Cohn法。 血清白蛋白可在采用Cohn′法的第五乙醇分级中发现。 从此，有些人便开始使用“Fraction V”这一术语来描述血清白蛋白，无论使用的是什么制备方法。 也有人在使用该术语来描述通过乙醇分级方法而纯化得到血清白蛋白，而这种方法是相对于原始的Cohn法一直在得到高度的改良。Sigma-Aldrich生产和分销从各种主要方法纯化得到的血清白蛋白，包括真正的Cohn分级法、改良的乙醇分级方法、热休克和色谱法。 更多的纯化步骤包括结晶或木炭过滤。
