albumin
Blood plasma protein
Albumin is a water-soluble protein found in egg whites, blood plasma, and other animal tissues.
In medicine, serum albumin levels indicate liver and kidney function: Her albumin was dangerously low.
Egg albumin is the clear protein portion that turns white when cooked.
The word also appears in albumen, the egg white itself.
