Plasmasse

Plasmasse, also known as plasma protein, is a type of protein found in the blood plasma of humans and other mammals. It is a major component of the blood, making up about 70% of the total protein content. Plasmasse is produced by the liver and plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's fluid balance and blood pressure. It is also involved in the transport of various substances, including hormones, vitamins, and minerals, throughout the body. Additionally, plasmasse contributes to the immune system by acting as an acute-phase reactant during inflammation. It is a globular protein with a molecular weight of approximately 70,000 daltons and consists of a single polypeptide chain. Plasmasse is classified as an alpha-2 globulin and is one of the most abundant proteins in the blood. Its primary function is to maintain the osmotic pressure of the blood, which is essential for the proper distribution of water and nutrients throughout the body.
