Beta globulin proteins help carry substances, such as iron, through the bloodstream and help fight infection.

They should normally not be detected in urine.

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.

Most of the proteins in your body that help keep you healthy can be placed into two major groups: albumin and globulins.

Albumin is a single protein that’s found in high levels in the blood. Most globulins are produced in the liver.

They include four main types of proteins:

– alpha-1 globulin

– alpha-2 globulin

– beta globulin

– gamma globulin
