Study Notes
Proteins Synthesized in the Liver
- All proteins are synthesized in the liver, except for immunoglobulins.
Binding Properties of Citrate, Oxalate, and EDTA
- Citrate, Oxalate, and EDTA bind to calcium ions.
Proteins Responsible for Oncotic Pressure and Transport
- Albumin is responsible for maintaining oncotic pressure and transporting substances like fatty acids and bilirubin.
Major Bands in Electrophoresis
- Albumin and globulins are part of the major bands in electrophoresis.
Glycoproteins
- Most globulins are glycoproteins.
Diagnostic Proteins in Plasma
- Various proteins in plasma can be used for the diagnosis of different diseases, including albumin, globulins, and enzymes.
Colloid Osmotic Pressure
- The main function of colloid osmotic pressure created by plasma proteins is to maintain blood volume and prevent edema.
Enzymes in Diagnosis of Organ Diseases
- Enzymes commonly used in the diagnosis of organ diseases include lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate transaminase (AST), and alanine transaminase (ALT).
Purpose of Enzymes in Diagnosis
- The primary purpose of using enzymes in the diagnosis of organ diseases is to detect tissue damage or injury.
Contribution of Plasma Proteins to Diagnosis
- Plasma proteins contribute to the diagnosis of diseases by serving as biomarkers for different conditions.
Plasma Cholinesterase (BuChE)
- Plasma cholinesterase (BuChE) is responsible for the hydrolytic cleavage of various esters of choline.
- BuChE is found in the liver, nerve tissue, and plasma.
Acetylcholinesterase (ACHE)
- The principal location of acetylcholinesterase (ACHE) is in the synapses of neurons.
- ACHE is responsible for the breakdown of acetylcholine.
Inhibitors of BuChE and ACHE
- The activity of both BuChE and ACHE can be inhibited by organophosphates.
Clinical Symptoms of Acetylcholine Build-up
- The clinical symptoms arising from a build-up of acetylcholine include muscle weakness, fasciculations, and paralysis.
