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: It's missing my great* mildly long form articles.
gollark: Well, all is bees, see.
gollark: To get around that.
gollark: That actually caused a bit of a vulnerability in potatOS ages ago. I made it delete user files if they were too big.
