Abstract

The extracellular fluid of the metazoans is not only a transport vehicle but also, for the majority of the body’s cells, their growth environment. Proteins play an important role here, providing colloid-osmotic pressure and acting as buffers. The most important parameter in this respect is their concentration which, depending upon the species, the developmental stage and the physiological conditions, can vary from less than 1 to more than 200 mg/ml (Table 5.1). In addition to these general functions, individual plasma proteins have various specific roles, e.g. in the transport of substances, in defence reactions, in blood clotting or in the solution of clots. At least in the case of the more highly developed animals, the plasma proteins may be looked upon as a well-defined extracellular system with certain general functions and regulation mechanisms; in all animals, they exist as a mixture of proteins of very different structures and functions.
