This gene encodes 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. This gene has also
been linked to diabetic nephropathy, the incidence of coronary
artery disease in type 1 diabetes, Crohn's disease, inflammatory
disease behavior, primary sclerosing cholangitis, susceptibility to
idiopathic Parkinson's disease, and a reduced incidence of
Plasmodium falciparum malaria. A similar duplicated gene is located
next to this gene on chromosome 16. Multiple transcript variants
encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
For an additional Protein Microarray Validated monoclonal antibody to haptoglobin, see our Haptoglobin Antibody HP/3835 / Haptoglobin Protein Antibody page.
The stated application concentrations are suggested starting points. Titration of the Haptoglobin antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
A portion of amino acids 296-322 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the Haptoglobin antibody.
Aliquot the Haptoglobin antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
