Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a molecule produced by a developing  baby in the womb.  With humans, the AFP levels slowely decrease once a child is born and then reach adult levels by the end of the first year.  The purpose of AFP in adults is not known.

It is also measured in adults and children, serving as an indicator to detect the possibility of certain tumors.
