hormone-binding globulins — a family of plasma proteins whose function is to bind free hormone molecules to varying degrees and thus reduce their function. Alterations in levels of the binding globulins, for example during pregnancy or ill health, can result in variations… … The new mediacal dictionary
Beta globulins — are a group of globular proteins in plasma that are more mobile in alkaline or electrically charged solutions than gamma globulins, but less mobile than alpha globulins.Examples of beta globulins include: * beta 2 microglobulin * plasminogen *… … Wikipedia
globulin — Name for a family of proteins precipitated from plasma (or serum) by half saturation with ammonium sulfate ( i.e., addition of an equal volume of saturated ammonium sulfate). Globulins may be further fractionated by solubility, electrophoresis,… … Medical dictionary
