  2. 1. Alpha-1-microglobulin: Innate defence against pathological oxidation

    Author : Magnus Gram; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; alpha-1-microglobulin; pathological oxidation; hemoglobin; heme; radiation; oxidation; ROS; hemoglobin and heme antagonist; radical scavenger;

    Abstract : Oxidative stress has been implicated as an important factor in the progression of many diseases. An imbalance in the redox-system may cause oxidation of cells and molecules, which might subsequently lead to tissue damage. READ MORE

  4. 2. Structure and distribution of alpha-1-microglobulin proteins

    Author : Tord Berggård; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Proteins; lysine; chromophore; placenta; immunohistochemistry; albumin; prothrombin; plasma; bikunin; lipocalin; alpha-1-microglobulin; protein HC; enzymology; Proteiner; enzymologi;

    Abstract : This thesis describes studies of the structure and tissue distribution of alpha-1-microglobulin (a1-m), a member of the lipocalin protein superfamily with immunosuppressive properies. It was shown that a1-m appears in human plasma in five major forms. READ MORE

  5. 3. Alpha-1-microglobulin, heme-binding protein, reductase and antioxidant

    Author : Maria Allhorn; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; reduction; inflammation; chronic ulcers; collagen; low density lipoproteins; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; antioxidation; heme; hemoglobin; alpha-1-microglobulin; lipocalin;

    Abstract : This thesis describes structural and functional studies of alpha-1-microglobulin (a1m), a 26 kDa plasma and tissue protein that is evolutionarily well-conserved and belongs to the lipocalin superfamily. The lipocalins are polypeptides of 160-190-amino acids that are folded into an 8-stranded beta-barrel forming a pocket with a hydrophobic interior. READ MORE

  6. 4. Urinary Clara cell protein and alpha 1-microglobulin – biomarkers of changes in kidney and airway function

    Author : Lena Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : biomarker; Clara cell 16 kDa protein CC16 ; alpha 1-microglobulin A1M ; ambient air pollution; renal function; pyelonephritis; children;

    Abstract : Validated biomarkers are useful tools for screening large populations. The benefit of screening may be improved risk assessment or early indications of adverse effects before detection or onset of symptoms. READ MORE
