The product, proalbumin, is in turn cleaved in the Golgi apparatus to produce the secreted albumin. The reference range for albumin concentrations in serum is approximately 35–50 g/L (3.5–5.0 g/dL). [5] It has a serum half-life of approximately 21 days. [6] It has a molecular mass of 66.5 kDa.

Reference ranges (reference intervals) for blood tests are sets of values used by a health professional to interpret a set of medical test results from blood samples. Reference ranges for blood tests are studied within the field of clinical chemistry (also known as "clinical biochemistry", "chemical pathology" or "pure blood chemistry"), the ...
The 3D structure of human serum albumin has been determined by X-ray crystallography to a resolution of 2.5 ångströms (250 pm). [1] Albumin is a 65–70 kDa protein. Albumin comprises three homologous domains that assemble to form a heart-shaped protein. [2] Each domain is a product of two subdomains that possess common structural motifs. [2]
Androstenedione is not bound to SHBG either, and is instead bound solely to albumin. [10] Estrone sulfate and estriol are also poorly bound by SHBG. [11] Less than 1% of progesterone is bound to SHBG. [12] SHBG levels are usually about twice as high in women as in men. [9] In women, SHBG serves to limit exposure to both androgens and estrogens. [9]
Serum albumin, often referred to simply as blood albumin, is an albumin (a type of globular protein) found in vertebrate blood. Human serum albumin is encoded by the ALB gene . [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Other mammalian forms, such as bovine serum albumin , are chemically similar.

This is termed the albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) [10] and microalbuminuria is defined as ACR ≥3.5 mg/mmol (female) or ≥2.5 mg/mmol (male), [11] or with both substances measured by mass, as an ACR between 30 and 300 μg albumin/mg creatinine. [12] For the diagnosis of microalbuminuria, care must be taken when collecting sample for the urine ...
