Why This Biomarker Matters

Beta 1 globulin abnormalities can indicate multiple myeloma or other monoclonal gammopathies. This test helps detect serious blood cancers and abnormal protein production.

Overview

Beta 1 globulin is a protein fraction identified through urine protein electrophoresis, a specialized test that separates proteins in urine. Abnormal beta 1 globulin patterns, particularly when seen with other findings, can indicate monoclonal gammopathies such as multiple myeloma—a blood cancer affecting plasma cells. This test is typically performed on 24-hour urine collections and helps detect abnormal protein production that may signal malignancy or other serious protein disorders.
