Alpha globulin
Alpha globulins are a group of
proteases
and show significant inhibitor activity.
The alpha globulins typically have molecular weights of around 93 kDa.
Examples
Alpha globulins include certain hormones, proteins that transport hormones, and other compounds, including
prothrombin and HDL
.
Alpha 1 globulins
- α1-antitrypsin
- Alpha 1-antichymotrypsin
- Orosomucoid (acid glycoprotein)
- Serum amyloid A
- Alpha 1-lipoprotein
- Protein HC
Alpha 2 globulins
- Haptoglobin
- Alpha-2u globulin
- α2-macroglobulin
- Ceruloplasmin
- Thyroxine-binding globulin
- Alpha 2-antiplasmin
- Protein C
- Alpha 2-lipoprotein
- Angiotensinogen
- Cortisol binding globulin
- Vitamin D-binding protein
