[Tubular proteinuria (electrophoretic studies and properties of the microglobulins)]
Abstract:
The electrophoretic study of tubular proteinuria, carried out on the acrylamide-agarose electrophoresis, shows various patterns of tubular proteinuria characterized by low molecular weight proteins: alpha2-microglobulin, beta2-microglobulin and post gamma. The immunoprotidologic study of the microglobulins is difficult since they have a similar molecular weight. The zonal acrylamide-agarose electrophoresis allows the isolation of beta2m and post gamma. Recent studies suggest a number of hypothesis on the function of the microglobulins.
Insights
Electrophoretic analysis reveals distinct patterns of tubular proteinuria, linked to low molecular weight proteins like alpha2-microglobulin and beta2-microglobulin. Zonal electrophoresis aids in isolating these microglobulins for further study.
