Acetylated BSA is chemically prepared through acetylation of the epsilon amino group of BSA lysine residues with activated acetic acid. The acetylated BSA is well recognized by anti-acetylated lysine antibodies.

BSA is a protein with a molecular weight of 66,430 Da and 583 amino acid residues. Because BSA is highly soluble in water, it is used as a diluting or blocking agent for many techniques such as Western blots, ELISAs and immunohistochemistry.
