Hepatic plasma proteins : mechanisms of function and regulation

Part 1 Physiological and clinical implications of human plasma protein abnormalities: coagulation factors plasma inhibitors complement factors apolipoproteins. Part 2 Acute phase reactants: the a1 - acid glycoprotein c-readtive protein serum amyloid protein (SAP) serum amyloid A (SAA) complement 3(C3) a2-HS-glycoprotein (AHSG) albumin. Part 3 The plasma proteinase inhibitors: variety of human plasma proteinase inhibitors a1- antitrypsin. Part 4 Plasma protein vehicles: transferrin ceruloplasmin transtheyretin and the retinol binding protein haptoglobin hemopexin vitamin D binding protein. Part 5 The biochemical regulators - cytokines and transcription factors: cytokines regulate changes in plasma protein sysnthesis transcriptional factors in the nucleus regulate plasma protein gene expression by binding to specific DNA sequences transcriptional factors interact with DNA sequences of plasma protein genes references.
