Gamma globulin information


Schematic representation of a protein electrophoresis gel

Gamma globulins are a class of globulins, identified by their position after serum protein electrophoresis.[1][2] The most significant gamma globulins are immunoglobulins (antibodies), although some immunoglobulins are not gamma globulins, and some gamma globulins are not immunoglobulins.
