Antitrypsin:
Makes up 90% of the alpha band
Function: neutralizes lysosomal elastases during phagocytosis
Uses: evaluates lung and liver disease
Acid glycoprotein:
Has a large portion of carbohydrates
Uses: Tumor marker
Lipoprotein A:
Fat carrier
Function: guides fat to the liver
Uses: Cholesterol measurement
AFP:
See in young children
If seen in adults it indicates hepatocellular carcinoma |

Haptoglobin:
Hemoglobin binding protein
Malaria, Transfusion reactions, and hemolytic disorders causes increased levels
Nephrotic syndrome and burns causes decreased levels
Ceruloplasmin:
Protein containing 6-7 copper atoms
Function: acts as ferro oxidase and prevents cancer
Macroglobulin:
Related to kidney disease and renal failure |

IgG: initiates secondary immune response
IgA: found near mucosal surfaces
IgM: initiates primary immune response
IgE: increased during allergic and parasitic infections
IgD: used as a back up for initiating ag:ab response
CRP
Indicator of inflammation and a myocardial infarction
It can bind to the cell wall of streptococcus and cause a secondary immune repsonse |
