Plasma proteins notes

This diagram shows the functions of proteins found in the plasma membrane.

What is the difference between Fats and Oils? Fats are mainly composed of saturated fatty acids while oils are mainly composed of unsaturated fatty acids.

Plasma proteins- Chemistry, functions and clinical significance Plasma proteins, also termed serum proteins or blood proteins, are proteins present in blood plasma. They serve many different functions, including transport of lipids, hormones, vitamins and metals in the circulatory system and the regulation of acellular activity and functioning of the immune system. Other blood proteins act as enzymes, complement components, protease inhibitors or kinin precursors. Serum albumin accounts for…

Proteins are macromolecules made up of monomers called amino acids. Amino acids are the building block of all proteins. Structure and Functions.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays a major role in the biosynthesis of proteins. Proteins that are synthesized by ribosomes on the ER are transported into the Golgi apparatus for processing. Some of these proteins will be secreted from the cell, others will be inserted into the plasma membrane, and still others will be inserted into lysosomes.
