Albumins and Globulins

Also they differ in amino acid composition from the gluten proteins, possessing lower amounts of glutamic acid and more lysine. Unfortunately, because they are present in the wheat endosperm in minor proportions, their presence it is not enough to overcome the lack of lysine in wheat. Analysis of aneuploid stocks of the wheat variety Chinese Spring has revealed that the HMW albumins of 69,63,60, and 45 kDa are controlled by genes on the chromosome arms 4DL, 4AL, SAL and SDL respectively.

Primary blood components iaclude plasma, red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), platelets (thrombocytes), and stem cells. Plasma consists of water dissolved proteias, ie, fibrinogen, albumins, and globulins coagulation factors and nutrients. The principal plasma-derived blood products are siagle-donor plasma (SDP), produced by sedimentation from whole blood donations fresh frozen plasma (FFP), collected both by apheresis and from whole blood collections cryoprecipitate, produced by cryoprecipitation of FFP albumin, collected through apheresis and coagulation factors, produced by fractionation from FFP and by apheresis (see Fractionation, blood-plasma fractionation). 

The physiological significance of mucoproteins in serum is unknown but it is tempting to speculate that they may simply be intermediate stages in the synthesis of albumins and globulins. However, it will be seen below that mucoproteins with hormone properties can be isolated from serum of pregnant mares, and that the enzyme choline esterase, is probably a serum mucoprotein. 

Geitman reported that neomycin did not bind to any of the protein fractions when added to serum but bound to the isolated albumin and globulin fractions. An earlier paper H described the globulin-neomycin complex to be of greater stabil-... 

Some 100 different proteins occur in human blood plasma. Based on their behavior during electrophoresis (see below), they are broadly divided into five fractions albumins and ai-, tt2-, P- and y-globulins. Historically, the distinction between the albumins and globulins was based on differences in the proteins solubility -albumins are soluble in pure water, whereas globulins only dissolve in the presence of salts. 

In rats, 1,3,5-TNB was found to form adducts with blood proteins such as albumin, globulin, and globin, and with DNA from tissues, and it was suggested that these adducts may be useful as markers for exposure to 1,3,5-TNB (Reddy et al. 1991). Adducts with albumin and globulin reached a maximum one day after a single oral dose, and by day 7 had almost completely disappeared. Adducts with globin peaked by day 2, and after 28 days, 20% of the adducts remained. DNA adducts were also formed in the spleen, liver and stomach. In the spleen, 100% of the adducts were retained for at least 28 days after dosing. 

As shown in Figure 6, proteins of the gluten complex can be separated by solubility differences into saline-soluble albumins and globulins, 70% ethanol-soluble glladlns, acetic acid-soluble glutenln, and an insoluble protein residue.

Albumin- and globulin-type proteins are the major proteins in flaxseed. According to Madhusudhan and Singh (1983), flaxseed albumin comprised 20% of total meal protein. Marcone et al. (1998) reported that the globulin fraction makes up 73.4% of total protein, and the albumin constitutes about 26.6%> of total protein. In contrast, Youle and Huang (1981) reported that 2S proteins accounted for 42%> of the total seed proteins. Sammour (1999) also reported albumin accounted for 40.2%> of the total protein content.

In a follow-up study, the same authors examined the applicability of the same device for relevant protein samples and investigated the main contributions to band broadening [82]. As a consequence of the small depth of the beds, zone spreading caused by Joule heating was shown to be negligible (see Sect. 3.1.1). Cross fields of up to 100 V/cm were applied for the separation of human serum albumin, ribonuclease A and bradykinin. The feasibility of fraction collection was demonstrated with four collected fractions of a whole rat plasma sample. Off-line analysis of these four isolated fractions by CE indicated the separation of serum albumins and globulins. 

Sandiford et al. showed identity of epitopes of gliadins and proteins belonging to albumins and globulins allowing the appearance of cross-reactivity (Sandiford et al., 1997).
