find out percentage and function of different blood proteins
Answers
Required Answer:-
Albumin:
Albumin is synthesised by liver and they serve as a source of protein for tissue cells. It retains water in blood plasma by their osmotic effects (Blood colloidal osmotic pressure 28-32mmHg).
- Albumin acts as a carrier protein for many substances in blood.
- Eg. Hormone thyroxin, metabolic product of haemoglobin - bilirubin binds to albumin and transported through blood.
- About 50-60% albumin is present in blood plasma.
Globulin:
Globulins mainly are involved in defence mechanisms of the body and the albumins help in osmotic balance.
- Globulins are of three types - α, β and γ.
- α and β globulins are secreted by liver and γ is produces by lymphoid organs.
- Globulin is 35-38% in blood plasma.
Fibrinogen:
Fibrinogens are required for clotting or coagulation of blood. They are produces by liver and take part in clotting system.
- It is a glycoprotein complex.
- It is released into the bloodstream.
- Fibrinogen contains 7% in blood plasma.
Explanation:
HERE IS YOUR ANSWER
⇒TO FIND THE PERCENTAGE
SO ,
⇒Fibrinogen comprises 7% OF BLOOD PROTEINS
⇒Normal level 0.2-0.45 g/dl
⇒Function Blood coagulation
⇒Plasma contains 6–8 percent proteins

A heterogeneous group, there are three main subgroups known as alpha, beta, and gamma globulins. The alpha and beta globulins transport iron, lipids, and the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K to the cells; like albumin, they also contribute to osmotic pressure.
