QuickView for ALB (gene)


Gene Symbol:
ALB Homo sapiens Homo sapiens
Full name:
albumin
Synonyms:
HSA, PRO0883, PRO0903, PRO1341, serum albumin
Genomic Location:
Chr 4: 74488870-74505996
Description:
This gene encodes the most abundant protein in human blood. This protein functions in the regulation of blood plasma colloid osmotic pressure and acts as a carrier protein for a wide range of endogenous molecules including hormones, fatty acids, and metabolites, as well as exogenous drugs. Additionally, this protein exhibits an esterase-like activi...
