Schematic representation of a protein electrophoresis gel

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.

Examples

Alpha 1 globulins

α₁-antitrypsin
Alpha 1-antichymotrypsin
Orosomucoid (acid glycoprotein)
Serum amyloid A
Alpha 1-lipoprotein

Alpha 2 globulins

Haptoglobin
Alpha-2u globulin
α₂-macroglobulin
Ceruloplasmin
Thyroxine-binding globulin
Alpha 2-antiplasmin
Protein C
Alpha 2-lipoprotein
Angiotensinogen
