ALB (Albumin) or HSA (Human Serum Albumin) is the most abundant protein found in human blood. Human ALB gene encodes a preproprotein that is further proteolytically processed to generate the mature form.  ALB regulates blood plasma colloid osmotic pressure and acts as a carrier protein for a wide range of molecules, including hormones, bilirubin, fatty acids, and metabolites, as well as exogenous drugs. ALB is a major zinc transporter in plasma, typically binds ~80% of all plasma zinc. ALB also binds ~45% of circulating calcium and magnesium in plasma. The rank order of its affinity is zinc > calcium > magnesium.  ALB contains at least 2 calcium-binding sites and the shareds binding site between zinc and calcium at residue Asp-273. Additionally, ALB exhibits an esterase-like activity with broad substrate specificity.  ALB binds to the bacterial siderophore enterobactin and inhibits enterobactin-mediated iron uptake of E.coli from ferric transferrin. The mutations in the ALB gene are associated with FDAH (Familial Dysalbuminemic Hyperthyroxinemia) and ANALBA (Analbuminemia) conditions.
