Human Plasma Alpha 2-macroglobulin
Activation of plasma kallikrein arginine esterase activity by kaolin resulted in peak activity at 1 min of incubation and a 50% reduction in activity at 5 min in normal plasma, and 30% reduction in the plasma of patients with hereditary angioneurotic edema who lacked the C1 inactivator. The peak esterolytic activity was inhibited by soybean trypsin inhibitor whereas the 5 min activity was resis...
متن کاملAlpha 2 macroglobulin state in acute pancreatitis. Raised values of alpha 2 macroglobulin-protease complexes in severe and mild attacks.
Plasma values of C reactive protein, alpha 1 proteinase inhibitor, alpha 2 macroglobulin, and complexed alpha 2 macroglobulin have been determined in serial samples from 27 patients with acute pancreatitis. Complexed alpha 2 macroglobulin was measured by a novel enzyme linked immunosorbent assay with a monoclonal antibody specific for the complexed form. Patients with severe illness had lower c...
متن کاملAlbumin bound and alpha 2-macroglobulin bound zinc concentrations in the sera of healthy adults.
Reference ranges for albumin bound and alpha 2-macroglobulin bound zinc concentrations have been determined in a study of sera obtained from 134 healthy adults. The concentrations of zinc bound to alpha 2-macroglobulin were remarkably constant with a mean (+/-SD) of 2.4 +/- 0.6 mumol/l; the variations in total serum zinc concentrations were almost entirely accounted for by variations in the zin...
متن کاملPresence of nickel in alpha-2 macroglobulin isolated from human serum by high performance liquid chromatography.
A two-step procedure was devised for purification of alpha 2-macroglobulin (alpha 2 M) from human serum by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on "Superose 6" gel-filtration medium and "Mono-Q" ion-exchange medium. The isolated protein reacts with specific alpha 2 M-anti-serum upon immunoelectrophoresis, migrates as single protein band on SDS-acrylamide gel electrophoresis, and yields...
متن کاملAlpha-2-Macroglobulin: A Physiological Guardian
Alpha macroglobulins are large glycoproteins which are present in the body fluids of both invertebrates and vertebrates. Alpha-2macroglobulin (a2M), a key member of alpha macroglobulin superfamily, is a high-molecular weight homotetrameric glycoprotein. a2Mhasmany diversified and complex functions, but it is primarily known by its ability to inhibit a broad spectrumof proteaseswithout the direc...
