globulin

Archaic nomenclature for a protein that is sparingly soluble in water but is soluble in dilute salt solutions. Euglobulins do not dissolve in salt-free water, whereas pseudoglobulins are soluble in salt-free water. Gamma ()-globulins are a population of globulins defined further by their electrophoretic behaviour, and include the immunoglobulins. (see also albumin)
