[Alpha-fetoprotein: biochemical properties, function, and clinico-diagnostic significance].
The review is dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the opening and studying of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). New data about molecular properties, structure and functions as well as regulation of AFP synthesis are presented. Clinical significance and prospects of the further study of this oncofetal glycoprotein has been discussed.
