| blood albumin | <protein> The serum level of the low molecular protein albumin. Albumin, produced by the liver, plays an important role in maintaining plasma oncotic pressure. Normal serum albumin should be 3.5-5.0 grams per decilitre. Low serum albumin can be found in cases of liver disease and malnutrition. (27 Sep 1997) |

| bovine serum albumin | A source of albumin commonly used in in vitro biological studies. (05 Mar 2000) |
| macroaggregated albumin | A conglomerate of human serum albumin in a suspension; usually refers to particles 10 to 50 um in size; used as a tagged agent for lung scanning. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radioiodinated serum albumin | A sterile, buffered, isotonic solution prepared to contain not less than 10 mg of radioiodinated normal human serum albumin per ml, and adjusted to provide not more than 1 mCi of radioactivity per ml; used as a diagnostic aid in determining blood volume and cardiac output. Synonym: radioiodinated serum albumin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| receptors, albumin | Cell surface proteins that bind albumin with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behaviour of cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Patein's albumin | A substance resembling serum albumin, but soluble in acetic acid. Synonym: acetosoluble albumin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plasma albumin | <protein> The serum level of the low molecular protein albumin. Albumin, produced by the liver, plays an important role in maintaining plasma oncotic pressure. Normal serum albumin should be 3.5-5.0 grams per decilitre. Low serum albumin can be found in cases of liver disease and malnutrition. (27 Sep 1997) |

| serum albumin, bovine | Serum albumin from cows, commonly used in in vitro biological studies. (12 Dec 1998) |
| serum albumin, radio-iodinated | <chemical> Normal human serum albumin mildly iodinated with radioactive iodine (131-I) which has a half-life of 8 days, and emits beta and gamma rays. It is used as a diagnostic aid in blood volume determination. Pharmacological action: radiopharmaceuticals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| native albumin | Albumin existing in its natural state, the two principal forms being serum albumin and egg albumin; it is soluble in water and not precipitated by diluted acids. (05 Mar 2000) |
| normal human serum albumin | A sterile preparation of serum albumin obtained by fractionating blood plasma proteins from healthy persons; used as a transfusion material and to treat oedema due to hypoproteinaemia. Synonym: dried human albumin. (05 Mar 2000) |

| inherited albumin variants | Types of human serum albumin, distinguished by characteristic mobility patterns on electrophoresis; each type is due to a mutation of a gene controlling albumin synthesis; the mutant genes are codominant with the normal gene for albumin A, and the group forms a system of genetic polymorphism; types include: albumin b (slow), found occasionally in persons of European ancestry; albumin Ghent (fast), found first at Ghent, Belgium; albumin Mexico (slow), found in Indians of Mexico and the southwestern United States; albumin Naskapi (fast), found in the Naskapi and other Indians of northern North America; and albumin Reading (fast), found first at Reading, England.

| iodinated 125I serum albumin | A sterile, buffered, isotonic solution prepared to contain not less than 10 mg of radioiodinated normal human serum albumin per ml, and adjusted to provide not more than 1 mCi of radioactivity per ml; used as a diagnostic aid in determining blood volume and cardiac output. Synonym: radioiodinated serum albumin. (05 Mar 2000) |
