Plasma Flashcards
1
Q
Alpha-1
A
Alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) made in liver.
Inhibits protease in circulation.
Protect tissue from other enzyme.
- prevent neutrophil elastase release during inflammation.
-defective A1AT -> lung tissue degradation+loss of elasticity-> resp issue
2
Q
Alpha-2 globulin types
A
Haptoglobin/
Alpha2-macroglobulin
3
Q
Haptoglobin
A
Binds to haemoglobin released from erythrocytes-> spleen removes this complex.
-Measurement used in haemolytic anaemia diagnosis.
4
Q
Alpha2-macroglobulin
A
Protease inhibitor- inactivates fibrinolysis n
5
Q
Beta globulin
A
C3+C4 complement protein
Transferrin
6
Q
Gamma globulin
A
Immunoglobulin (antibody)
Acute phase C reactive protein (CRP)
