b) Immunoglobulins
c) Albumin
d) Plasma hormone
Correct Answer – B
Answer: B. Immunoglobulins
The liver serves several metabolic functions within the body including protein synthesis and metabolism. The liver is responsible for an array of proteins.
Immunoglobulins are synthesised in plasma cells which are believed to be end products of the differentiation of cells called Blymphocytes.
The liver plays a crucial role in the production of nearly all plasma proteins (albumin, alpha-1-acid glycoprotein, majority of coagulation cascade, and fibrinolytic pathways).
Notable exceptions include: globulins, factor III, IV, VIII.
Proteins produced by the liver: protein S, protein C, protein Z, plasminogen activator inhibitor, antithrombin III. Vitamin K
dependent proteins synthesized by the liver include: Factors II, VII, IX, and X, protein S and C.
