Serum globulin - 1,56,000
Fibrinogen - 4,00,000
Normal values of pp
Serum albumin 4.7g/dL
Serum globulin 2.3g/dL
Fibrinogen 0.3g/dL
In adults, plasma proteins are synthesized from
Reticuloendothelial cells of liver,spleen,bone marrow, disintegrating blood cells and general tissue cells.
Gamma globulin is synthesized from
B lymphocytes
Gamma globulin or immunoglobulins or antibodies
Antibodies react with antigens of various microorganisms
Albumin, alpha globulin and beta globulin are responsible for transportation of
Hormones and enzymes
Transportation of metals in the body is done by
Alpha and beta globulin
Oncotic pressure exerted by albumin in blood
70 percentage
Oncotic pressure order
Albums (70-80 percentage)>Globus>fibrinogen
Plasma proteins are responsible for____%of buffering capacity of blood
15%
Pp that provides maximum viscosity
Albumin
What accelerates the tendency of rouleaux formation in blood?
Globulin and fibrinogen
What helps in maintaining suspension stability of blood
Globulin and fibrinogen
Trephone substances
Trephone substances are necessary for nourishment of tissue cells in culture. These substances are produced by leukocytes from plasma proteins.
Albumin importance and peculiarities
Normal value (highest) 4.7g/dL
Molecular weight (least) 69000
Transparent of hormones and enzymes.
Generates 70% of oncotic pressure.(highest)
Plays an important role in acid-base balance in blood. Due to buffering action.
Albumin provides maximum viscosity to blood in order maintain blood pressure.
