A group of proteins found in blood and other body fluids that help fight infections and transport substances.
From 'globule' (because they're round proteins) plus the chemistry suffix '-in,' named for their spherical molecular shape that was observed under early electron microscopes.
Globulins include antibodies that protect you from disease—they're one reason vaccination works, because your immune system creates specific globulins that remember past invaders!
