Alpha-2 macroglobulin A2M is a large plasma protein found in the blood. Alpha-2 macroglobulin is produced by the liver, and is a major component of the alpha-2 band in protein electrophoresis.

Rat A2M Alpha-2 macroglobulin research: When High resolution images of rat acute-phase alpha 2-macroglobulin were performed, studies showed that the comparison of the amino acid compositions of alpha 2-macroglobulin from Rat and alpha 2-macroglobulin from human indicated a high degree of homology between the two molecules. It was reported that the conformation of rat acute-phase alpha 2-macroglobulin , both at the molecular and secondary structural levels, is strikingly similar to that of human alpha 2-macroglobulin.
