  2. Gamma globulin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_globulin

    Gamma globulin injections are usually given in an attempt to temporarily boost a patient's immunity against disease. Injections are most commonly used on patients having been exposed to hepatitis A or measles, or to make a kidney donor and a recipient compatible regardless of blood type or tissue match.

  3. Globulin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globulin

    Globulins are usually tested through a blood test to see how much protein is in a patient's blood. The blood proteins that should be seen would be globulins and albumin. If a patient's protein level is very low there could be a possibility that the patient may have a liver or kidney disease since globulins are produced in the liver.

  4. Blood plasma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_plasma

    Alpha-1 and Alpha-2 globulins are formed in the liver and play an important role in mineral transport and the inhibition of blood coagulation. [14] An example of beta globulin found in blood plasma includes low-density lipoproteins (LDL) which are responsible for transporting fat to the cells for steroid and membrane synthesis. [15]

  5. Serum protein electrophoresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serum_protein_electrophoresis

    Serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP or SPE) is a laboratory test that examines specific proteins in the blood called globulins. [1] The most common indications for a serum protein electrophoresis test are to diagnose or monitor multiple myeloma , a monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance (MGUS), or further investigate a discrepancy ...

  6. Plasma protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_protein

    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.

  7. Proteins produced and secreted by the liver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteins_produced_and...

    All plasma proteins except Gamma-globulins are synthesised in the liver. [1] Human serum albumin, osmolyte and carrier protein; α-fetoprotein, the fetal counterpart of serum albumin; Soluble plasma fibronectin, forming a blood clot that stops bleeding; C-reactive protein, opsonin on microbes, [2] acute phase protein; Various other globulins

  8. Why OPEC's grip on oil markets will continue to weaken in 2025

    www.aol.com/why-opecs-grip-oil-markets-193512699...

    OPEC+ faces a major oil oversupply in 2025, challenging production increases. The coalition has tried to boost oil prices by holding back output. Instead, members are ceding control to non-OPEC ...

  9. Antibody - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibody

    In an electrophoresis test of blood proteins, antibodies mostly migrate to the last, gamma globulin fraction. Conversely, most gamma-globulins are antibodies, which is why the two terms were historically used as synonyms, as were the symbols Ig and γ. This variant terminology fell out of use due to the correspondence being inexact and due to ...
