Serum albumin (ALB), the main protein in plasma, has a very good binding capacity for water, fatty acids, calcium, sodium, bilirubin, hormones, potassium and drugs.
The primary function of ALB is to regulate the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood.
Albumin 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.
The product, proalbumin, is in turn cleaved in the Golgi vesicles to produce the secreted form of albumin.
Mutations in the ALB gene may result in familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia (FDH), a form of euthyroid hyperthyroxinemia that is due to increased affinity of ALB for T4.
FDH is the most common cause of inherited euthyroid hyperthyroxinemia in Caucasian populations.
