Effect of Human α1-Acid Glycoprotein on Blood Coagulation

Abstract

As yet no specific function of the α1-glycoproteins has been demonstrated. The average amount of α1-acid glycoprotein in normal plasma is 50 mgm. per 100 ml. The alpha-glycoproteins have been found to be increased in many pathological conditions, including cancer and diseases associated with tissue destruction such as in the inflammatory dermatoses.
