Nickel Transport and Serum Albumin

  • Primary Transport Protein: Serum albumin is indeed one of the key transport proteins in human blood plasma responsible for binding and carrying various trace elements and minerals, including nickel.
  • Specific Binding Site: Nickel specifically binds to the N-terminal site of the human serum albumin molecule, utilizing a specific amino acid sequence (Aspartate-Histidine-Lysine) for effective chelation and transport.
  • Physiological Role: This binding mechanism allows the body to safely transport nickel through the bloodstream, regulating its bioavailability and preventing excessive free-radical toxicity associated with unbound metal ions.
