Abstract:
The plasma protein alpha 1-microglobulin is a member of the lipocalin protein superfamily. In the last few years, the work on alpha 1-microglobulin has given unexpected and promising new results. Of particular interest are its molecular association with immunoglobulin A and with proteinase inhibitors, and its interactions with the immune system.
