Serum albumin

Hepatology, 1969
The liver manufactures albumin at a massive rate and decreases production in times of environmental, nutritional, toxic and trauma stress. Osmotic pressure is a basic evolutionary regulatory factor, and hormonal control over albumin production has been demonstrated.

Evolution of serum albumin

Journal of Molecular Biology, 1977
We have tested the amino acid sequence of human serum albumin to check Brown's (1976) hypothesis that the molecule contains three homologous domains, of approximately 190 amino acids each, which evolved by gene duplication. A comparison of the sequence with itself shows that the repeats are extremely strong, and the probability that they could have ...

Aldolase activity of serum albumins

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry, 2011
Bovine and human serum albumins catalyze the aldol reaction of aromatic aldehyedes and acetone, with saturation kinetics and moderate and opposite enantioselectivity. The reaction occurs at the binding site in domain IIa, and is inhibited by warfarin. Kinetic data are consistent with an enamine mechanism.

Serum albumin and nutritional status

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 1980
Serum albumin concentration is frequently used to define nutritional status. To validate this relationship, 161 body composition studies were performed on 102 patients simultaneously with protein electrophoresis. The body cell mass represented by the exchangeable potassium to total body water ratio correlated significantly (p < 0.001) with the serum

Structure of Serum Albumin

1994
Publisher Summary This chapter provides an insight of the findings of past significant papers with the current knowledge of the recently determined high resolution X-ray structure of serum albumin. The most outstanding property of albumin is its ability to bind reversibly an incredible variety of ligands.

Albumin Naskapi: A New Variant of Serum Albumin

Science, 1966
An apparently new variant of human serum albumin, albumin Naskapi, has been found in high frequency in the Naskapi Indians of Quebec and, in lower frequency, in other North American Indians. The family and population data of the albumin are consistent with its inheritance as a simple autosomal trait controlled by a gene designated

Differences between Urinary Albumin and Serum Albumin

Nature, 1962
IN the work reported here, the molecular size and the peptide patterns of the albumins found in normal urine were compared with those of serum albumin.

Albumin Mexico, a New Variant of Serum Albumin

Nature, 1967
AN inherited variant of albumin (albumin Naskapi) has recently been described which has an electrophoretic mobility greater than that of common albumin (albumin A)1. This variant is relatively common in many North American Indian tribes, but it has not been found in the United States white and negro sera so far tested, nor in many European sera.
