Background

Albumin is a soluble, monomeric protein of molecular weight 65,000, which comprises about one-half of the blood serum protein. The albumin gene is 16,961 nucleotides long from the putative 'cap' site to the first poly(A) addition site. It is synthesized in the liver as preproalbumin, which has an N-terminal peptide that is removed before the nascent protein is released from the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Albumin functions primarily as a carrier protein for steroids, fatty acids, and thyroid hormones and plays a role in stabilizing extracellular fluid volume.
