Chr. 4 q13.3. Human serum albumin is the version of serum albumin found in human blood. It is the most abundant protein in human blood plasma; it constitutes about half of serum protein. It is produced in the liver. It is soluble and monomeric. Albumin transports hormones, fatty acids, and other compounds, buffers pH, and maintains oncotic pressure, among other functions.

Probably, less than 1% of all pro-. teins are prime targets for the identiﬁcation of novel mar-. kers (Zolg and Langen, 2004). The most abundant pro-. teins are albumin and the immunoglobulin heavy and light. chains, representing together about 80% of the plasma. proteins. Therefore, depletion of at least these two high. abundance proteins is a prerequisite of a successful search. for disease markers in plasma.

This fraction of plasma proteins contain these different β-lipoproteins which are very rich in lipid content. It also contains transferrin (siderophilin) which transports non-heme iron in plasma. The normal serum value of β-globulins is 0.91 gm/100ml. Transferrin is an iron transport protein.

1 Protein Nutrition: Plasma proteins act as a source of protein for the tissues, whenever the need arises.  Osmotic Pressure and water balance: Plasma proteins exert an osmotic pressure of about 25 mm of Hg and therefore play an important role in maintaining a proper water balance between the tissues and blood.

However, in plasma, several. high-abundance proteins are dominant and repress the signals of the lower-. abundance proteins, which then become undetectable either by two-. dimensional gels or chromatography.

This is the most abundant class of plasma proteins (2.8 to 4.5 gm/100ml) with highest electrophoretic mobility. It is soluble in water ad is precipitated by fully saturated ammonium sulphate.

Includes the two big iron homeostasis proteins: Transferrin: has two Fe 3+ binding sites per molecule with 1/3 normally occupied. Hemopexin: binds any free heme (iron-porphyrin complex) also sex hormone binding globulin, and beta-2microglobulin a tiny protein that is part of organ rejection issues.

Plasma: cell free blood + small amount of anti coag. Serum: cell free blood w/o fibrinogen. Plasma is prepared by centrifuge w/ anticoag added. Serum is just straight centrifuge so fibrinogen is busy making a clot and is removed from the solution of serum. both are yellow due to billirubin content.

In patients w/ acute inflammatory states or cancer some plasma proteins are dramatically elevated. These include c- reactive protein (increases by a factor of 1000), and several others. Usually albumin, prealbumin, and transferrin decrease.

The proteins present in the plasma of human blood are a mixture of simple proteins, glycoproteins, lipoproteins and other conjugated proteins are called “Plasma Proteins“. These may be separated by salt precipitation, immunological technique and electrophoresis. Basics of Biochemical Techniques.
