    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Molecular Biology
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Human alpha 2 macroglobulin (α2M) is a protease inhibitor with unique non-active site directed inhibition.
    • α2M facilitates clearance of protease complexes via receptor-mediated endocytosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the molecular mechanisms of human alpha 2 macroglobulin (α2M) function.
    • To explore the role of primary amines as probes in studying α2M inactivation, factor XIII derivatization, and receptor recycling.
    • To discuss the potential involvement of transglutaminase activities in α2M processes.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing primary amines as molecular probes.
    • Analyzing the inactivation of native α2M.
