=== Globulins ===
{{Main|Globulins}}
The second most common type of protein in the blood plasma are globulins. Important globulins include immunoglobins which are important for the immune system and transport hormones and other compounds around the body. There are three main types of globulins. Alpha-1 and Alpha-2 globulins are formed in the liver and play an important role in mineral transport and the inhibition of blood coagulation.<ref>{{cite web |title=Globulins {{!}} Encyclopedia.com |url=https://www.encyclopedia.com/science-and-technology/biochemistry/biochemistry/globulins |website=www.encyclopedia.com |access-date=November 29, 2021 |archive-date=November 29, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211129020527/https://www.encyclopedia.com/science-and-technology/biochemistry/biochemistry/globulins |url-status=live }}</ref> An example of beta globulin found in blood plasma includes low-density lipoproteins (LDL) which are responsible for transporting fat to the cells for steroid and membrane synthesis.<ref>{{cite web | vauthors = Thomas L | veditors = Simmons H |title=Blood Plasma Components and Function | work = News-Medical.net |url=https://www.news-medical.net/health/Blood-Plasma-Components-and-Function.aspx  |language=en |date=10 October 2018 |access-date=November 29, 2021 |archive-date=November 29, 2021 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20211129020523/https://www.news-medical.net/health/Blood-Plasma-Components-and-Function.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref>  Gamma globulin, better known as immunoglobulins, are produced by plasma B cells, and provides the human body with a defense system against invading pathogens and other immune diseases.<ref>{{cite book | vauthors = Biga LM, Dawson S, Harwell A, Hopkins R, Kaufmann J, LeMaster M, Matern P, Morrison-Graham K, Quick D, Runyeon J | display-authors = 6 | chapter = 18.1 Functions of Blood | title = Anatomy & Physiology | publisher = OpenStax | via = Oregon State University | chapter-url=https://open.oregonstate.education/aandp/chapter/18-1-functions-of-blood/ |language=en |date=26 September 2019 |access-date=November 29, 2021 |archive-date=November 29, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211129020526/https://open.oregonstate.education/aandp/chapter/18-1-functions-of-blood/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
