Alpha globulin
Alpha globulins are a group of globular proteins in plasma[1] that are highly mobile in alkaline or electrically charged solutions. They inhibit certain blood proteases and show significant inhibitor activity.

The alpha globulins typically have molecular weights of around 93 kDa.

gollark: Yes.
gollark: > objectively lookingHere we go again, your false objectivity thing.
gollark: > ecmascript 2025: type annotations become mandatoryThey would NEVER break compatibility like that.
gollark: C is wild unsafety and irritating to use.
