Daryl's fatherhas been told he has early compensated cirrhosis but has neverdrank alcohol; his mother is in good health. Daryl’s serum proteinelectrophoretic results are shown below:     Adultreference Values        PatientResults Albumin 3.5?5.0   3.6 ?1 ? Globulins0.1?0.4   0.0 ?2 ?

(1 pt) 3.   What is the function of thisprotein? (1 pt) 4.   Could this protein abnormality berelated to both the patient’s symptoms and his father’s cirrhosis?Explain your answer. (1 pt) 5. What other test(s) may be done toconfirm this abnormality? (1 pt) 6.   What charge is onthe plasma proteins when they are dissolved in the typical pH 8.6electrophoretic buffer? Explain (1 pt)    7.  Are there conditions that will cause an increase in this protein inthe serum? If so, state at least one such condition and list atleast three other specific proteins that would be abnormal inaddition to this protein.
