Alpha-2 globulins is a class of proteins that has many functions in the body and is involved in inflammation.
Proteins are substances made of small chemicals called amino acids. They have a number of roles:
- They provide structure to the body.
- They help transport nutrients.
- They help the body fight off disease.
Too much or too little protein can cause problems.
In general, proteins are found in the blood of healthy people. They play an important role in supporting optimal body functioning and health. For example, they:
– carry oxygen to where it’s needed in the body
– aid in digestion
– support muscle movement
– fight off disease
– support the growth and maintenance of tissues throughout the entire body
However, you should not have a lot of protein in your urine.
