Descriptor prealbúmina
Entry term(s) proalbúmina
transtirretina
Scope note: Proteína tetramérica, de peso molecular comprendido entre 50.000 y 70.000, que consta de 4 cadenas iguales y que migra en la electroforesis en 3 fracciones más móviles que la albúmina sérica. Su concentración varía entre 7 y 33 por ciento en suero, pero las concentraciones disminuyen en la hepatopatía.
