Overview

Blood proteins, also known as plasma proteins, are a diverse group of proteins present in the blood plasma. They play essential roles in maintaining physiological balance and supporting various bodily functions. These include albumin for osmotic pressure and transport, globulins for immunity and transport, fibrinogen for blood clotting, and regulatory proteins such as enzymes and hormones. Abnormal levels can indicate various health conditions.
