Total Protein Kit For Laboratory Use

Most serum proteins except gamma globulins and hemoglobin are synthesized in the liver. Proteins participate in transport, catalysis and coagulation, act as hormones and receptors, antigens and antibodies, regulate osmotic pressure and play structural functions. Correct serum level of total protein depends mainly on balance between synthesis and degradation of albumin and immunoglobulins. Total protein level abnormalities are caused usually by dehydration, liver or kidney disease and starvation.
