What's the difference between albumin and albuminoid?
Albumin
Definition:
(n.) A thick, viscous nitrogenous substance, which is the chief and characteristic constituent of white of eggs and of the serum of blood, and is found in other animal substances, both fluid and solid, also in many plants. It is soluble in water and is coagulated by heat and by certain chemical reagents.
Example Sentences:

(10) Since the molecular weight of IgG is more than twice that of albumin and transferrin, it is concluded that the protein loss in Ménétrier's disease is nonselective in the sense that it affects a similar fraction of the intravascular masses of all plasma proteins.
(11) While the reduced form of the "derived" polyphenolic compounds, generated during tissue homogenization, appeared to enhance dye binding with bovine serum albumin, their influence on the protein assay directly in crude homogenates was extremely diverse.
(12) The antigens tested included bovine serum albumin, gamma-globulin, and ribonuclease.
(13) We could not find any correlation between TBG and serum albumin, gamma-glutamyl-transpeptidase, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase and mean corpuscular volume.

(15) The specificity of the assay was established by competitive displacement of 125I-labeled arginine-rich protein from its antiserum by arginine-rich protein and lipoproteins containing this protein, but not by rat albumin or other purified apolipoproteins.
(16) Immune arthritis in sensitized rabbits was induced by intraarticular injection of bovine serum albumin.
(17) We evaluated the effect of glycated albumin on phenytoin protein binding in 36 elderly (age range 63-94 yrs) patients with type II diabetes mellitus (DM) under diet management.
(18) Because isosmolar albumin solution is easier to prepare than hyperosmolar cryoprecipitated plasma and gives comparable results, it remains our perfusate of choice for continuous perfusion preservation.
(19) We found that when neutrophils were allowed to settle into protein-coated surfaces the amount of O2- they generated varied with the nature of the protein: IgG greater than bovine serum albumin greater than plastic greater than gelatin greater than serum greater than collagen.
(20) The specificity of the assay was further demonstrated by a lack of competition of cytochrome C, myoglobin, epidermal growth factor or bovine serum albumin with bFGF for binding to the antibodies.
Albuminoid
Definition:
(a.) Resembling albumin.
(n.) One of a class of organic principles (called also proteids) which form the main part of organized tissues.
Example Sentences:
(1) The albumin binding site more closely resembles vitamin D binding protein than B700, but the data indicate that the binding function of the albuminoid proteins is conserved in B700.
(2) Ultrastructural changes in endocrine cells in obese patients are suggestive of degenerative processes: in D-, D1- and G-cells these are fatty, P- and EC-cells albuminoid.
(3) There was no significant difference in the Ka and Bmax among the albuminoid proteins.
(4) Some normally pass the limulus test undiluted while others, such as immune globulins and albuminoid products, have to be diluted to various concentrations before they pass.
(5) Laser Raman scattering studies on these isolated proteins (both in the lyophilized state and in solution) and insoluble albuminoid reveal that they contain predominantly antiparallel pleated sheet structure in the main chains and that sulfhydryl groups are highly localized in gamma-crystallin.
