- FUNCTION OF PROTEINS?
- – tissue nutrition?
- – maintenance of water distribution between cells and tissue, interstitial compartments and the vascular system of the body?
- Participation of buffers to maintain pH?
- Metabolic Substance?
- Part of immune defense system?
- Hormones and receptors?
- Connective tissue?
- Catalysts?
- Participation in coagulation of blood?
- contains at least one of both amino acid and carboxylic acid functional groups.?
- What is the precursor of tyrosine?
- Refers to the types, number, and sequence of amino acids in a protein chain • When carbonyl group of one amino acid joins the amino group of a second forming a molecule of water as by-product?
- Twisted shape of the primary structure due to rotation of bonds?
- Twisted shape of the primary structure due to rotation of bonds be:?
- Formed through the combination of more than one polypeptide molecule of protein subunits forming a functional protein?
- – Composed of amino acids linked by peptide bonds?
- A helix and Transport?
- B-pleated ▪ Support?
- Composed of protein plus a prosthetic group?
- Conjugated – Composed of protein plus a prosthetic group?
- Also known as Transthyretin?
- Is the transport protein for thyroid hormones; it also binds with retinol-binding protein to form a complex that transports retinol (Vitamin A) and is rich in tryptophan?
- is a sensitive marker of poor nutritional status?
- is made up of steroids • Travels through prealbumin • Regulates metabolism in the body • If there is low count of thyroid hormones you are less likely to lose weight?
- It is the protein present in highest concentration in the plasma. Also exists in the interstitial space?
- NEGATIVE PHASE REACTANT PROTEINS?
- Group of proteins consists of a1, a2, B, and y (gamma) fractions?
- Inhibits the protease, neutrophil elastase • Mutations in the SERPINA1 gene can lead to a deficiency of a1-antitrypsin protein or an abnormal form resulting to emphysema.?
- It is synthesized in the developing embryo and fetus and then by parenchymal cells of the liver. Conditions associated with an elevated AFP level include spina bifida, neural tube defects, abdominal wall defects, anencephaly, and general fetal distress. Low levels of maternal AFP indicate and increased risk for Down syndrome and trisomy 18?
- to bind free hemoglobin to prevent the loss of hemoglobin and its constituent, iron into the urine?
- considered an acute-phase protein. Testing is used primarily to help detect and evaluate hemolytic anemia and to distinguish it from anemia due to other causes.?
- a copper containing a2- glycoprotein. 90% or more of total serum copper is found in ceruloplasmin; the other 10% is bound to albumin?
- is primarily ordered along with blood and/or urine copper tests to help diagnose Wilsons disease (deficiency in ceruloplasmin/small copper count/kaiser fleischer ring) and Menkes syndrome (due to high amount of copper it cannot be absorbed).?
- A large protein that is synthesized by the liver and is a major component of the a2 band in the protein electrophoresis. It is a tetramer of four identical subunits that inhibits proteases such as trypsin, thrombin, kallikrein, and plasmin.?
- Transferrin is also known as?
- Also known as Siderophilin, it binds iron for transportation to prevent it from deposition in the tissues and loss through the kidney. Transferrin transports iron to its storage sites, where it is incorporated into apoferritin another protein, to form ferritin?
- Is an acute-phase reactant?
- to scavenge the heme released or lost by the turnover of heme proteins such as hemoglobin, myoglobin, or catalase, which protects the body from the oxidative damage that free heme can cause?
- one of the natural defense mechanisms that protects the human body from infections. These proteins are synthesized in the liver. Complement C3 is the most abundant complement protein in human serum, with complement C4 being the second.?
