| 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. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
| iodinated 131I human 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 the measurement of blood volume and cardiac output. (05 Mar 2000) |
| technetium tc 99m aggregated albumin | <chemical> A gamma-emitting radionuclide imaging agent used for the diagnosis of diseases in many tissues, particularly in cardiovascular and cerebral circulation. Pharmacological action: radiopharmaceuticals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| egg albumin | <protein> A major protein constituent of egg white. A phosphoprotein of 386 amino acids (44 kD) with one N linked oligosaccharide chain. Synthesis is stimulated by oestrogen. The gene, of which there is only one in the chicken genome, has eight exons and is of 7.8 kbase, it was one of the first genes to be studied in this sort of detail. (18 Nov 1997) |
| acidophilus milk | Milk inoculated with a culture of Bacillus acidophilus. (05 Mar 2000) |
