It appears that gamma globulin causes the spleen to ignore the antibody-tagged platelets, thus allowing them to survive and function. Another theory on how gamma globulin administration works in autoimmune disease is by overloading the mechanisms that degrade gamma globulins. Overloading the degradation mechanism causes the harmful gamma ...
Alpha globulins; Beta globulins; Gamma globulins (one group of gamma globulins is the immunoglobulins, which are also known as "antibodies") Globulins can be distinguished from one another using serum protein electrophoresis. Globulins exert oncotic pressure. Their deficiency results in loss of carrier functions of globulins, oedema due to ...
The gamma globulins may be elevated (hypergammaglobulinemia), decreased (hypogammaglobulinaemia), or have an abnormal peak or peaks. Note that immunoglobulins may also be found in other zones; IgA typically migrates in the beta-gamma zone, and in particular, pathogenic immunoglobulins may migrate anywhere, including the alpha regions.

Function The gamma globin genes (HBG1 and HBG2) are normally expressed in the fetal liver, spleen and bone marrow ...
Globulins make up 38% of blood proteins and transport ions, hormones, and lipids assisting in immune function. Fibrinogen comprises 7% of blood proteins; conversion of fibrinogen to insoluble fibrin is essential for blood clotting. The remainder of the plasma proteins (1%) are regulatory proteins, such as enzymes, proenzymes, and hormones.
All plasma proteins except Gamma-globulins are synthesised in the liver.

Properdin is a gamma globulin protein composed of multiple identical protein subunits with a separate ligand-binding site. Native properdin occurs in head-to-tail dimers, trimers and tetramers in the fixed ratio 22:52:28. [5]
The water-accessible surface area of an IgG antibody. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is a type of antibody.Representing approximately 75% of serum antibodies in humans, IgG is the most common type of antibody found in blood circulation. [1]
