Haptoglobin Antibody HP/3835 / Haptoglobin Protein Antibody recognizes haptoglobin, a secreted plasma glycoprotein encoded by the HP gene. Haptoglobin is best known for binding free hemoglobin released during intravascular hemolysis. Formation of the haptoglobin-hemoglobin complex helps limit oxidative damage associated with free hemoglobin and facilitates its clearance from the circulation, making haptoglobin an important component of hemoglobin homeostasis.
Haptoglobin is synthesized primarily in the liver as a precursor protein of approximately 45 kDa. Proteolytic processing produces alpha and beta chains that remain associated through disulfide bonds. The beta chain is extensively N-glycosylated, while genetic variation at the HP locus gives rise to the major Hp1 and Hp2 forms of the alpha chain. These variants produce structurally distinct haptoglobin phenotypes while retaining the capacity to bind hemoglobin.
Haptoglobin is also an acute-phase protein, and circulating concentrations can increase substantially during inflammatory responses. Conversely, serum haptoglobin may decrease when consumption associated with intravascular hemolysis exceeds hepatic production. These characteristics have made haptoglobin an extensively studied marker in research examining inflammation, hemolysis, oxidative stress and liver function.
Binding of extracellular hemoglobin by haptoglobin reduces the availability of potentially damaging free heme-associated iron and promotes recognition of the complex by the scavenger receptor CD163. This pathway is particularly important in macrophage-mediated clearance of hemoglobin and connects haptoglobin biology with innate immune responses, iron handling and protection from oxidative injury.
Clone HP/3835 is a mouse monoclonal antibody directed against human haptoglobin. This Haptoglobin Antibody is Protein Microarray Validated using a HuProt array containing more than 19,000 full-length human proteins. The Z-score measures target-binding signal relative to the mean signal across the array, while the S-score measures separation between the intended target and the next-highest protein signal, providing complementary measures of binding strength and specificity. NSJ Bioreagents offers this Haptoglobin Protein Antibody for research into haptoglobin expression, hemoglobin clearance and acute-phase protein biology.
