General description

Human Albumin, also known as Serum albumin (ALB), is a member of the ALB/AFP/VDB family. Serum albumin is the main protein of plasma and has been shown to bind with water, Ca2+, Na+, K+, fatty acids, hormones, bilirubin and drugs. Human Albumin plays an important role in the regulation of the colloidal osmotic pressure of the blood. Additionally, Human Albumin has been shown to be the major zinc transporter in plasma, and typically binds about 80% of all plasma zinc. Mutations in ALB are implied to be the cause of familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia (FDH), a form of euthyroid hyperthyroxinemia that is due to increased affinity of ALB for T4. Human Albumin is expressed primarily in plasma.
