Talk:Albumins

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Can anyone confirm how much Albumin is in egg_(food). Is it significant, and is it destroyed during digestion?

Egg whites consist almost completely of albumin, and yes, it's digested into amino acids when you eat it. - Nunh-huh 23:04, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Is there any way to increase the bodies albumin levels, either via diet, drugs, and insance (?)

The albumin in egg white (ovalbumin) is an unrelated protein to the serum albumin that is found in the blood-stream. Consumption of egg white will not have any direct effect on the levels of serum albumin (though it will provide a source of amino acids - following digestion - which can be used to synthesise serum albumin). This synthesis occurs in the liver. Scurry 20:22, 15 December 2005 (UTC)aman da aman ne gözel yapmıssınız

[edit] Amino Acid Sequence

I'm not sure we need the Amino Acid Sequence in here. Anyone object if I take it out? --Arcadian 20:08, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Since the amino acid sequence differs (a lot) between albumins it would be misleading to have "the amino acid" sequence here. Are there any parts of the aa sequence that are the same in all albumins? probably serum albumins are more similar to each other than lactalbumin and ovalbumins?
