albumins, plural;
  1. A simple form of protein that is soluble in water and coagulable by heat, such as that found in egg white, milk, and (in particular) blood serum

  1. a simple water-soluble protein found in many animal tissues and liquids
  2. Albumin (Latin: albus, white) refers generally to any protein that is water soluble, which is moderately soluble in concentrated salt solutions, and experiences heat coagulation (protein denaturation). Substances containing albumin, such as egg white, are called albuminoids.
  3. A class of monomeric proteins that are soluble in water, and are coagulated by heat; they occur in egg white, milk etc; they function as carrier protein for steroids, fatty acids, and thyroid hormones and play a role in stabilizing extracellular fluid volume
  4. (Albumins) The name for a group of water soluble proteins that coagulate when heated.
  5. (albumins) Protein constituents of blood plasma and serum also found in muscle, egg white, and milk.
  6. Major Blood protein. Monitors nutritional status, or sometimes kidney status in protein-losing kidney problems.
  7. This major protein constituent of blood is often given to individuals who need to retain more fluid in their bloodstream, such as burn victims or patients with liver failure or extremely heavy bleeding (hemorrhage). ...
  8. Found in egg white, and can leave a film over skin. It can constrict skin temporarily, making it look smoother for a brief period, but it can also cause irritation and is not helpful for skin.
  9. a protein found in blood plasma and urine, which can be a sign of kidney disease.
  10. is a type of protein made from the dietary protein. A low albumin may be due to inadequate protein or calorie intake. In kidney disease, albumin is lost in the urine which adds to the low albumin level caused by poor nutrition. Albumin may drop after surgery or with blood loss. ...
  11. A protein that is detectable by urinalysis or a simple blood test; abnormal levels may indicate kidney damage.
  12. Albumin refers to a group of relatively small proteins that are soluble in water and readily coagulated by heat.
  13. A water-soluble protein found in vegetables, bones, meat, and egg whites. Albumin coagulates as it's heated, collecting impurities as it moves -- this is the scum on a stock. Rapid boiling destroys its ability to collect impurities, resulting in a cloudy stock.
  14. A type of protein produced in the liver. An increased level of albumin in the urine of people with diabetes is an early sign of kidney damage. See MICROALBUMINURIA.
  15. Albumin is one of the major plasma proteins. It has many functions in the blood plasma including carrying molecules (and some drugs) throughout the body.
  16. The so-called "white" of the egg. See also yolk.
  17. n. protein found in large quantities throughout the tissues of mammals
  18. It is found in egg whites (the white portion of eggs). It works as a fining agent for red wines. It is considered as the best for softening and polishing red wines. The usual doses are one-two eggs per barrel of red wine (225 L).
  19. The protein rich egg white surrounding the yolk. The albumin is a translucent liquid until heated or beaten, at which point it solidifies and turns white. This solidifying action is used to thicken or set custards, casseroles, and other dishes.
  20. the major plasma protein (approximately 60 percent of the total). Albumin stabilizes circulating blood volume and is a carrier of hormones, enzymes, medicinal products and toxins. It is used during surgeries as a volume replacer.
  21. A protein made in the liver that assists in maintaining blood volume in the arteries and veins. If the liver is damaged, then the albumin can drop to very low levels, which may cause fluid to leak into the tissues from the blood vessels, resulting in edema or swelling. ...
  22. Albumin is a blood plasma protein that is produced in the liver and forms a large proportion (about 60%) of all plasma proteins; all other proteins present in blood plasma are referred to collectively as globulin. ...
  23. Albumin is a protein that is made by the liver and is essential for maintaining the proper distribution of body fluids between intravascular compartments and body tissues.
  24. A group of protein that are found in milk.
  25. is a serum protein that is mostly produced by the liver. Decreases in albumin levels can be an indication of advanced liver disease.
