Deficiency of Human Serum Albumin in the body
Human Serum Albumin is the most abundant protein in human blood plasma.
It is produced in
the liver of human body and constitutes about half of the Human Serum protein.
Human
Serum contains dissolved protein like albumin in it for proper flow of blood in the body.
It is
responsible to carry out vital substances in the human body like hormones, fatty acids, and
other essential compounds, buffers pH, and to maintain the osmotic pressure, and other major
functions of human body.
In humans, Human Serum Albumin is the most abundant plasma protein, accounting for 55–
60% of the measured serum protein.
It consists of a single polypeptide chain of 585 amino acids
with a molecular weight of 66500 Da.
Albumin synthesis takes place only in the liver of human
body and it is not stored by the liver but is secreted into the portal circulation as soon as it is
manufactured.
In healthy young adults, the rate of synthesis is 194 (sd 37) mg per day,
