Examples of haptoglobin
haptoglobin
Haptoglobin is a molecule that has been known to scientists for many years.
From the sciencedaily.com
Haptoglobin is a type of glycoprotein, a category of proteins that has complex chains of sugar groups attached to it.

There are several versions of the haptoglobin gene.

Haptoglobin 1 is the original form of the haptoglobin molecule, and scientists believe it evolved 800 million years ago.

Haptoglobin 2 is a permutation found only in humans.

Because haptoglobin appears in abundance in serum, it is easy to pull out and isolate from the blood serum with an antibody.

Indigenous Easter Islanders have a superior form of haptoglobin, a blood protein that can help prevent vitamin C deficiency.

Scientists led by Alessio Fasano, M.D., have identified zonulin as a molecule in the human body called haptoglobin 2 precursor.

This minor subclass of human HDL further contains two proteins, apolipoprotein L-1 and haptoglobin-related protein, which are only found in primates.

Environmental disasters, such as oil spills, may increase levels of blood haptoglobin and interleukin-6 immunoreactive protein, but decrease body mass.

This result was confirmed by western and ELISA analyses, and sustained elevations of serum haptoglobin were generally predictive of ensuing diabetes.

Haptoglobin is a powerful antioxidant protein that stabilizes the iron-rich red blood cell molecule called hemoglobin, preventing inflammation in the walls of arteries.

In this study, published online in the Journal of Proteome Research, Lubman and colleagues looked at proteins in the blood, and identified one, haptoglobin, that is in fairly high abundance.

- A protein in plasma that binds free hemoglobin and removes it (as from wounds)
- Haptoglobin (abbreviated as Hp) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HP gene. In blood plasma, haptoglobin binds free hemoglobin (Hb) released from erythrocytes with high affinity and thereby inhibits its oxidative activity. ...
- A serum protein, alpha globulin, that interacts with haemoglobin during recycling of the iron molecule of haemoglobin.
- Hp is a glycoprotein (molecular weight 85,000-100,000) made by the liver. Hp binds to free plasma hemoglobin, transporting it to the liver, where the complex is removed by the reticuloendothelial cells. Low levels are seen in persons with intravascular hemolysis (e.g. ...
