  3. Albumin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albumin

    Albumin is a family of globular proteins, the most common of which are the serum albumins. All of the proteins of the albumin family are water-soluble, moderately soluble in concentrated salt solutions, and experience heat denaturation. Albumins are commonly found in blood plasma and differ from other blood proteins in that they are not ...

  5. Serum albumin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serum_albumin

    Serum albumin is produced by the liver, occurs dissolved in blood plasma and is the most abundant blood protein in mammals. Albumin is essential for maintaining the oncotic pressure needed for proper distribution of body fluids between blood vessels and body tissues; without albumin, the high pressure in the blood vessels would force more ...

  6. Serum protein electrophoresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serum_protein_electrophoresis

    Electrophoresis is a laboratory technique in which the blood serum (the fluid portion of the blood after the blood has clotted) is applied to either an acetate membrane soaked in a liquid buffer, [3] or to a buffered agarose gel matrix, or into liquid in a capillary tube, and exposed to an electric current to separate the serum protein ...

  7. Blood plasma fractionation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_plasma_fractionation

    Albumin is commonly used to replenish and maintain blood volume after traumatic injury, during surgery, and during plasma exchange. [3] Since albumin is the most abundant protein in the plasma its use may be the most well known, but many other proteins, although present in low concentrations, can have important clinical uses. [1] See table ...

  8. Cardiac marker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_marker

    IMA can be detected via the albumin cobalt binding (ACB) test, a limited available FDA approved assay. Myocardial ischemia alters the N-terminus of albumin reducing the ability of cobalt to bind to albumin. IMA measures ischemia in the blood vessels and thus returns results in minutes rather than traditional markers of necrosis that take hours.

  9. Hypoalbuminemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoalbuminemia

    Once released, albumin distributes itself between the intravascular space (40%) in blood vessels, and extravascular spaces (60%) within the body's different tissues. In the blood plasma, albumin makes up 55 to 60% of total plasma protein by mass, with globulins making up a large part of the rest. In hypoalbuminemia, the amount of albumin in the ...
