MeSH Heading: Pregnancy-Associated alpha 2-Macroglobulins
Tree Number(s): D12.776.124.790.720.100.500; D12.776.780.675
Unique ID: D045384
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D045384
Scope Note: Large (>160 kDa) glycoproteins with electrophoretic mobility of ALPHA-GLOBULINS, found in high concentration in the plasma of pregnant women but also in a number of species including mouse, rat, and others (ALPHA-MACROGLOBULINS). In humans, they are always present in the circulation and are nonspecific inhibitors of PROTEINASES, similar to COMPLEMENT PROTEINS (C3; C4; C5).
