Total Protein

Two important proteins in the blood include albumin and globulin. Nearly 60% of the total protein in blood is albumin and about 40% of the total protein is globulin. Albumin, produced by the liver, functions as a carrier protein and helps prevent the fluid from leaking out of the blood vessels. Globulin proteins include carrier proteins, hormones, enzymes, antibodies and other types of proteins. The total protein test is used to measure the total amount of protein in the blood.
