| Description: | HP is a preproprotein, which is processed to yield both alpha and beta chains, which subsequently combine as a tetramer to produce haptoglobin. Haptoglobin functions to bind free plasma hemoglobin, which allows degradative enzymes to gain access to the hemoglobin, while at the same time preventing loss of iron through the kidneys and protecting the kidneys from damage by hemoglobin. Mutations in this gene and/or its regulatory regions cause ahaptoglobinemia or hypohaptoglobinemia. |
| Further Information: | This HP antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 295-322 amino acids from the Central region of human HP. |
| Synonym: | Haptoglobin, Zonulin, Haptoglobin alpha chain, Haptoglobin beta chain, HP |
