Abstract

Mass spectrometric analyses have shown that [alpha]-1 acid glycoprotein (AGP) isolated from plasma and serum contained lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) enriched in mono and polysaturated acyl chains, whereas albumin contained mostly saturated LPC. The results have suggested that AGP complements albumin as a lysophospholipid scavenging protein, particularly in inflammatory conditions when the capacity of albumin of sequesters LPC becomes impaired.
