Question
what is the most abundant protein in plasma?
multiple choice
creatinine
albumin
creatine
bilirubin
insulin
Albumin is synthesized in the liver and makes up about 50 - 60% of the total plasma protein. Creatinine is a waste product from muscle metabolism, not a protein. Creatine is involved in energy metabolism in muscles, not a major plasma protein. Bilirubin is a breakdown product of heme (from red blood cells), not a protein. Insulin is a hormone (a protein hormone) but its concentration in plasma is much lower compared to albumin.
