Albumin is most abundant and most studied protein of the circulation. Its biosynthesis is closely dependent on the nutrition, amino acid supply, hormonal millieu, environment, osmotic equilibrium, diseases and some other factors. Albumin is synthetized in the liver on a polyscmes and delivered into the blood streem. Degradation of albumin is practically still unknown and is one of many biological puzzles. Albumin prepared for therapeutic use almost contains dimers, oligomers and polymers which are very important, because they are one of the parameters for evaluation of albumin products quality.
