Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Globulins are plasma proteins that function in transport and immunity. They are divided into three subclasses: alpha, beta, and gamma globulins. Alpha and beta globulins transport lipids, hormones, and metal ions, while gamma globulins are immunoglobulins that function in the immune response. Fibrinogen is involved in blood clotting and albumin helps to maintain osmotic pressure and transport substances in the blood, but neither are involved in immunity.
