Overview

Beta globulins are a group of globular proteins in plasma that are more mobile in alkaline or electricaly charged solutions than gamma globulins, but less mobile than alpha globulins.

Examples of beta globulins include:

• beta-2 microglobulin
• plasminogen
• angiostatins
• properdin
• sex hormone binding globulin
• transferrin
