Preferred Term:

fetuins

Definition:
A family of calcium-binding alpha-globulins that are synthesized in the liver and play an essential role in maintaining the solubility of calcium in the blood. In addition the fetuins contain aminoterminal cystatin domains and are classified as type 3 cystatins.
