...thiols in the blood is far lower than that observed intracellularly, it remains high enough to induce loss of monothiol coatings during circulation.(116) This is in part due to the possibility for dissociative ligand exchange (SN1-like pathway), in which ligands are rapidly diluted within serum upon dissociation, and replaced by circulating small molecule thiols....

...Nevertheless, albumin is likely to play a more important role quantitatively simply based on its abundance in the extracellular compartment (195) and the extent to which it transports small aminothiols....
