fetoprotein
A fetoprotein is a type of protein that is typically produced by the fetus during development in the womb. The most well-known fetoprotein is alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), which serves various functions in the fetus, including the transport of molecules necessary for development. Doctors may measure the level of AFP in a pregnant woman's blood to assess the health and development of the baby. Abnormal level of AFP can indicate possible defects or disorders in the fetus.
