应用

α₂-Macroglobulin was used to study impaired lipoprotein receptor-mediated peripheral binding of plasma amyloid-β which is an early biomarker for mild cognitive impairment preceding Alzheimer′s disease. It was also used in the control of the classical and the MBL pathway of complement activation.

生化/生理作用

α₂-Macroglobulin is found abundantly in plasma and interstitial fluids. The protease-α₂-M balance plays an important role in mediating inflammatory tissue destruction. Serum levels of α₂-M and protease-α₂-M complexes are increased in patients with sepsis, emphysema, periodontitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other inflammatory diseases, and oxidant inactivation of α₂-M may contribute to tissue destruction during inflammation.
α₂-Macroglobulin (α₂M) is a multifunctional protein that is a broad spectrum protease inhibitor. α₂M is a large homotetrameric glycoprotein (720 kDa) that is connected by disulfide-linked dimers which non-covalently interact to give the quaternary structure. α₂M is found in normal plasma at a concentration of 220-230 mg/dl accounting for 3-5% of the total plasma protein.
