Alpha globulin
Alpha globulins are a group of globular proteins in plasma[1] that are highly mobile in alkaline or electrically charged solutions. They inhibit certain blood proteases and show significant inhibitor activity.
The alpha globulins typically have molecular weights of around 93 kDa.
Examples
Alpha 1 globulins
- α1-antitrypsin
- Alpha 1-antichymotrypsin
- Orosomucoid (acid glycoprotein)
- Serum amyloid A
- Alpha 1-lipoprotein
Alpha 2 globulins
- Haptoglobin
- Alpha-2u globulin
- α2-macroglobulin
- Ceruloplasmin
- Thyroxine-binding globulin
- Alpha 2-antiplasmin
- Protein C
- Alpha 2-lipoprotein
- Angiotensinogen
