Background
Alpha 2 Macroglobulin is a serum protein which functions as a broad range irreversible proteinase inhibitor that forms a ""trap"" around most proteases. Alpha 2 Macroglobulin is so large a molecule that is tends to remain intravascular. Localized on the surface of peripheral blood lymphocytes. A2M is always present in high levels in circulation.
