CC - Plasma proteins Flashcards
familiarize with the groups of globulins and their functions
Gamma globulins (6)
- IgG
- IgA
- IgM
- IgD.
- IgE
- some CRP: NEGATIVE ACUTE PHASE REACTANTS=Albumin & Trasnferrin
Beta Globulins (7)
- Pre-Beta Lipoproteins
- Beta-Lipoproteins
- Transferrin
- Hemopexin
- Beta2-microglobulin
- Complement proteins
- C-reactive proteins
Alpha2-Globulins (3)
- Ceruloplasmin
- Haptoglobin
- Alpha2-macroglobulin
Alpha1-Globulins(7)
- Alpha1-antitrypsin
- Alpha1-antichymotrypsin
- Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)
- Alpha1-acid glycoprotein
- Gc-globulin
- Thyroxine binding globulin
- Alpha-lipoproteins
Globulins (4)
Alpha1
Alpha2
Beta
Gamma
measurement of Globulins
Globulins = Total Protein - Albumin
marker for malnutrition
Pre-albumin / Transthyretin
landmark to confirm if specimen is really CSF
Pre-albumin / Transthyretin
Transfers T4 and retinol (vit. A)
Pre-albumin / Transthyretin
HIGH values of Pre-albumin
Alcoholism
Renal failure
Steroids
most abundant protein
Albumin
HIGH values of Albumin
Cystic fibrosis
normal value of Albumin
3.0 to 5.0 g/dL
osmotic pressure maintenace
Albumin
in which group is albumin related?
APR or NAPR
Negative Acute Phase Reactant
prevents tissue self destruction
A1-antitrypsin
aka alpha1-x
Alpha1-antichymotrypsin
Alpha1-antichymotrypsin binds with
PSA
protease inhibitor
A1-antitrypsin
associated with hepatic and gonodal carcinomas
Alpha-Feto protein (AFP)
LOW values of A1-antitrypsin is seen in
Emphysema
Juvenile cirrhosis
correlated with acute myocardial infarction and Alzheimer’s disease
Alpha1-antichymotrypsin
HIGH values of Alpha-Feto protein (AFP) is seen in
Twins
neural tube defects
HDN
LOW values of Alpha-Feto protein (AFP) is seen in
Down Syndrome Trisomy 18 (Edward's syndrome)
aka Orosomucoid
Alpha1-acid glycoprotein
vitamin D and actin affinity
Gc-globulin
