The three main blood proteins are albumin, globulin, and fibrinogen.
- Albumin is the most abundant protein in blood plasma and plays a crucial role in maintaining osmotic pressure, transporting hormones and fatty acids, and binding to various substances. It is produced by the liver.
- Globulin is a diverse group of proteins with various functions, including transporting substances like iron and lipids, fighting infections as antibodies, and regulating blood clotting.
- Fibrinogen is essential for blood clotting. It is converted into fibrin, which forms a mesh-like network trapping blood cells and platelets to form a clot.
These three proteins are vital for maintaining proper blood volume, transporting essential substances, and preventing excessive blood loss.
