Globulins exist in considerable quantities in the yolk of eggs, and in the blood.
Sidenote: Sources and properties of globulins] Globulinsare much like albumin, but are not soluble in water.
The albumens and globulins associated together occur in the tissues of both animals and plants.
The albumens are richer in sulphur than the globulins and are found more abundantly in the animal fluids, such as the blood, while the globulins predominate in the more solid tissues of animals and in plants.
The globulinsare insoluble in water and in dilute acids, but soluble in alkalies and in neutral salt solutions; these solutions are coagulated on boiling.
The nucleo-albumins or phospho-globulins are insoluble in water and acids, but soluble in alkalies, and have an acid reaction.
A further important point in connexion with the chemistry of the globulins is that dextrose may be found among their decomposition products, i.
The other, fibrinoglobulin, possesses all the typical characteristics of the globulins and coagulates at 64 deg.
The globulins present are named fibrinogen and serum-globulin; as its name implies, the chief physiological property of fibrinogen is that it can give rise to fibrin, the solid substance formed when blood clots.
It differs from other globulins in that it is less soluble.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "globulins" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
