albumins

Blood plasma proteins

Albumins are a class of water-soluble proteins found in blood plasma, egg whites, milk, and plant tissues.

Egg albumin—the clear part that turns white when cooked—is the most familiar example.

Serum albumin in blood helps transport hormones and fatty acids while maintaining fluid balance.

In medical contexts, low albumin levels can indicate liver or kidney problems.
