Clinical use Prealbumin or transthyretin is a protein synthesized mainly by the liver with a molecular mass of 55 kDa. has an abundance of the amino acid tryptophane and one of the highest ratios of essential-to-nonessential amino acids of any protein in the body making it a distinct marker for protein synthesis. Due to its short halflife of 1 to 2 days, measurement of the serum level may provide a more timely and sensitive assessment of protein malnutrition or liver dysfunction than transferrin or albumin. Superior performance :: Wide measuring range up to 1.5 g/L :: High antigen excess security...
