Lab 4: Blast (Globulin)

1. I decided to choose Globulin which is a protein that is produced by the liver and immune system. It is an important molecule that take up half of the total protein within blood, the other half being Albumin. Its function is to transport ions, hormones, and lipids in order to assist the immune system. It is one of the three major blood protein in our body.
2. The exact protein I chose is called globulin precursor or in other words Zea mays (Accession AAA33467). Zea Mays is the scientific name for corn.
