In human blood plasma, which protein is the most abundant by mass?
A
Albumin
B
Fibrinogen
C
Transferrin
D
Immunoglobulin G (IgG)
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that human blood plasma contains various proteins, each with different functions and concentrations.
Recall that albumin is a protein primarily responsible for maintaining osmotic pressure and transporting various substances in the blood.
Recognize that fibrinogen is involved in blood clotting, transferrin transports iron, and Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is an antibody involved in immune response.
Compare the relative abundance of these proteins in plasma by mass, noting that albumin is known to be the most abundant plasma protein.
Conclude that among the options given, albumin is the most abundant protein by mass in human blood plasma.
