beta globulin

Beta globulin proteins help carry substances, such as iron, through the bloodstream and help fight infection.

Examples of beta globulins include:

Iron is removed from heme and salvaged for later use, it is stored as hemosiderin or ferritin in tissues and transported in plasma by beta globulins as transferins.

Beta globulins are a group of globular proteins in plasma that are more mobile in alkaline or electrically charged solutions than gamma globulins, but less mobile than alpha globulins.
