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 Trend Is a Predictor of Mortality in ICU Patients With Sepsis

Biological Research for Nursing, 2019
Introduction: Patients admitted to the hospital with sepsis are 8 times more likely to die than patients with other diagnoses. There is no diagnostic test that clearly identifies the presence of the dysregulated host response that is central to sepsis ...

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

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.

Bovine Serum Albumin as a Versatile Platform for Cancer Imaging and Therapy.

Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2018
BACKGROUND Due to the good biocompatibility, biodegradability, facile surface functionalization and high water solubility, Bovine serum albumin has gain increasing attention in the nanomedicine. OBJECTIVE Despite there are many reviews on albumin based

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.

On the biosynthesis of serum albumin

Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 1976
Abstract The intracellular biosynthetic precursor of albumin in the plasma is a proalbumin containing a highly basic N-terminal hexapeptide. Analogies with other secreted proteins raise some interesting problems.
