An intriguing member of the lipocalin protein family : alpha 1-microglobulin

Akerström, B LU and Lögdberg, L (1990) In Trends in Biochemical Sciences 15(6). p.3-240
Abstract

The plasma protein alpha 1-microglobulin is a member of the lipocalin protein superfamily. In the last few years, the work on alpha 1-microglobulin has given unexpected and promising new results. Of particular interest are its molecular association with immunoglobulin A and with proteinase inhibitors, and its interactions with the immune system.
