Preferred Label : alpha-macroglobulins;
MeSH definition : Glycoproteins with a molecular weight of approximately 620,000 to 680,000. Precipitation
by electrophoresis is in the alpha region. They include alpha 1-macroglobulins and
alpha 2-macroglobulins. These proteins exhibit trypsin-, chymotrypsin-, thrombin-,
and plasmin-binding activity and function as hormonal transporters.;
