Indicators
Alpha-2-macroglobulin (1474 aa, ~163 kDa) is encoded by the human A2M gene. This protein has activity as a protease inhibitor.
Tests
The determination of the number of helper alpha-beta T-lymphocytes in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the ratio of a sub-population of alpha-beta T-lymphocytes to total alpha-beta T-lymphocytes present in a sample. The measurement may be expressed as a ratio or percentage.

Indicators
Alpha-fetoprotein (609 aa, ~69 kDa) is encoded by the human AFP gene. This protein plays a role in the binding to copper, nickel, bilirubin and fatty acids in the fetal circulation.
Tests
An AFP test is a blood test that measures the level of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in your blood when you are pregnant. The test checks your baby's risk of having certain birth defects and genetic problems , but it does not diagnose any health conditions. The test is usually done between 15 and 20 weeks of pregnancy .
Tests
The determination of the amount of alpha-methylacyl coenzyme A racemase mRNA in a biological sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of the alpha-methylfentanyl in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase present in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of alpha-smooth muscle actin present in a sample.
Indicators
The orally bioavailable alpha form of the naturally-occurring fat-soluble vitamin E, with potent antioxidant and cytoprotective activities. Upon administration, alpha-tocopherol neutralizes free radicals, thereby protecting tissues and organs from oxidative damage. Alpha-tocopherol gets incorporated into biological membranes, prevents protein oxidation and inhibits lipid peroxidation, thereby maintaining cell membrane integrity and protecting the cell against damage. In addition, alpha-tocopherol inhibits the activity of protein kinase C (PKC) and PKC-mediated pathways. Alpha-tocopherol also modulates the expression of various genes, plays a key role in neurological function, inhibits platelet aggregation and enhances vasodilation. Compared with other forms of tocopherol, alpha-tocopherol is the most biologically active form and is the form that is preferentially absorbed and retained in the body.
Tests
The determination of the amount of the amyloid alpha precursor protein in a biological specimen.
