Correct Answer: Liver
Description: Quick Review of plasma proteins
Most abundant plasma protein-Albumin

Most plasma proteins are synthesized in the liver except immunoglobulins by plasma cells of B Lymphocyte lineage
Most Plasma proteins are Glycoproteins except Albumin, which is a simple protein. Many plasma proteins exhibit polymorphism.
They are:
