-
actin
one of the proteins into which actomyosin can be split; can exist in either a globular or a fibrous form
-
albumen, albumin
a simple water-soluble protein found in many animal tissues and liquids
-
globulin
a family of proteins found in blood and milk and muscle and in plant seed
-
globin, haematohiston, hematohiston
a colorless protein obtained by removing heme from hemoglobin; the oxygen carrying compound in red blood cells
-
glutelin
a simple protein found in the seeds of cereals
-
histone
a simple protein containing mainly basic amino acids; present in cell nuclei in association with nucleic acids
-
prolamine
a simple protein found in plants
-
protamine
a simple protein found in fish sperm; rich in arginine; simpler in composition than globulin or albumin; counteracts the anticoagulant effect of heparin
-
albuminoid, scleroprotein
a simple protein found in horny and cartilaginous tissues and in the lens of the eye
-
collagen
a fibrous scleroprotein in bone and cartilage and tendon and other connective tissue; yields gelatin on boiling
-
elastin
a fibrous scleroprotein found in elastic tissues such as the walls of arteries
-
ricin, ricin toxin
a toxic protein extracted from castor beans; used as a chemical reagent; can be used as a bioweapon
-
gelatin, gelatine
a colorless water-soluble glutinous protein obtained from animal tissues such as bone and skin
-
chondrin
a substance that resembles gelatin and is obtained by boiling cartilage in water
-
lactalbumin
albumin occurring in milk
-
serum albumin
albumin occurring in blood serum; serves to maintain the somatic pressure of the blood
-
alpha globulin
a globulin in blood plasma or serum that is alkaline and has great electrophoretic mobility
-
serum globulin
globulins occurring in blood serum and containing most of the antibodies of the blood
-
ceratin, keratin
a fibrous scleroprotein that occurs in the outer layer of the skin and in horny tissues such as hair, feathers, nails, and hooves
-
gamma globulin, human gamma globulin
a plasma protein containing the immunoglobulins that are responsible for immune responses
-
myosin
the commonest protein in muscle; a globulin that combines with actin to form actomyosin
-
beta globulin, siderophilin, transferrin
a globulin in blood plasma that carries iron
