Isolation and characterization of fibronectin-alpha 1-microglobulin complex in rat plasma.
Molecules containing the 28 kDa immunoregulatory protein alpha 1-microglobulin (alpha 1-m), also known as protein HC, were isolated from rat plasma or serum by immunoaffinity chromatography. Three molecular species were distinguished on the basis of nondenaturing PAGE. Two of these have been described previously: uncomplexed alpha 1-m, and the complex of alpha 1-m with alpha 1-inhibitor-3. The ...
متن کاملHigh Serum Alpha-2-Macroglobulin Level in Patients with Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head
Background: Diagnosis of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is complicated due to the lack of reliable serum biomarkers. Up-regulation of alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) gene has been reported in glucocorticoid-induced ANFH rat model. This study aimed to investigate whether the serum level of alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) can be used for ONFH diagnosis. Methods: Serum protein capillary elect...
متن کاملAre Serum Alpha-1-Antitrypsin and Alpha-2-Macroglobulin Levels Related with Tumor Histology or Stage of the Lung Cancer?
In certain types of cancer, increased serum protease inhibitor levels were identified and clues showing that, serum levels of protease inhibitor could be used in the assessment of prognosis and dissemination of tumor were obtained. We aimed to reveal whether serum alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) and alpha-2-macroglobulin (AMG) levels of patients with lung cancer are related with histological type, cl...
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...
متن کاملHuman 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...
