Function

ALBU_BOVIN Serum albumin, the main protein of plasma, has a good binding capacity for water, Ca(2+), Na(+), K(+), fatty acids, hormones, bilirubin and drugs. Its main function is the regulation of the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood. Major zinc transporter in plasma, typically binds about 80% of all plasma zinc.

Publication Abstract from PubMed

The medicinal gold(III) dithiocarbamato complex AuL12 forms a stable adduct with bovine serum albumin. The crystal structure reveals that a single gold(I) center is bound to Cys34, with the dithiocarbamato ligand being released. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first structure for a gold adduct of serum albumin.
