Albumin has a long plasma half-life due to engagement of the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), which prevents intracellular degradation. However, its C-terminal end can be cleaved by carboxypeptidase A, and removal of the last leucine residue (L585) weakens receptor binding, reducing its half-life from 2...
