| Popis: | There has been considerable controversy over the existence of serum albumin in fish. One of the physiological functions of albumin is to bind free fatty acids. This characteristic was used to screen the plasma of seven species of salmonids. Each species contains a protein fraction that (i) binds palmitate, (ii) has a molecular mass similar to that of human serum albumin, and (iii) is one of the most rapidly migrating proteins when salmonid plasma is subjected to anodal polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. We conclude therefore, that salmonids have serum albumins that are homologous to the serum albumin of higher vertebrates. |
