α-1-Fetoprotein (AFP) is a major plasma protein produced by the yolk sac and the liver during fetal life. AFP is thought to be the fetal counterpart of serum albumin. Since only traces of AFP are found in adult serum, elevated levels suggest either a benign or malignant lesion of the liver, a Yolk-Sac Carcinoma, or one of a few other tumors.
