abbr. Alpha-2MG. Alpha-2M. Approved gene symbol A2M. CPAMD5 [C3 and PZP-like alpha-2-macroglobulin domain-containing protein 5] is a databank synonym for Alpha-2-Macroglobulin.
Alpha-2-Macroglobulin is a glycoprotein of 725 kDa encoded by a gene that spans approximately 48 kb and consists of 36 exons. The protein is found in serum at concentrations of 2-4 mg/mL. It consists of two identical subunits, which themselves are made up of two peptide chains covalently linked by disulfide bonds. Alpha-2-Macroglobulin is one of the acute phase proteins (see also: acute phase reaction). Its gene promoter contains an
