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: I don't believe in diodes.
gollark: I don't think there's even one for resistors and such.
gollark: I wonder if the Unicode Consortium could be convinced to add a block of circuit symbols to Unicode.
gollark: Alas, the Unicode Consortium hasn't made a nice way to write it.
