HP Antibody HP/3831 / Haptoglobin Blood Protein Antibody recognizes haptoglobin, a secreted plasma glycoprotein encoded by the HP gene. Haptoglobin has a central role in the physiological handling of free hemoglobin released from erythrocytes. By forming high-affinity complexes with extracellular hemoglobin, haptoglobin helps restrict the oxidative activity of free hemoglobin and facilitates its removal from the circulation.
Haptoglobin is synthesized as a precursor protein that undergoes proteolytic processing to generate alpha and beta chains connected by disulfide bonds. The beta chain is glycosylated, while variation within the HP gene produces the major Hp1 and Hp2 alpha-chain forms. These give rise to the Hp1-1, Hp2-1 and Hp2-2 haptoglobin phenotypes found in humans. Structural differences among these forms have contributed to extensive research into haptoglobin function and its relationship with hemoglobin metabolism.
As a Haptoglobin Blood Protein Antibody target, HP is particularly relevant to studies of hemolysis and extracellular hemoglobin clearance. Haptoglobin-hemoglobin complexes are recognized by CD163, a scavenger receptor expressed prominently by monocytes and macrophages. Uptake through this pathway promotes removal and processing of hemoglobin while limiting exposure of tissues to its pro-oxidant components.
Haptoglobin is also a major acute-phase protein. Its production can increase during inflammatory responses, linking HP biology with innate immunity, tissue injury and systemic inflammation. Because circulating haptoglobin is consumed during intravascular hemolysis, its abundance reflects the balance between synthesis and hemoglobin-associated utilization. These properties have made HP an extensively investigated plasma protein in studies of inflammatory and hematological processes.
Clone HP/3831 is a mouse monoclonal antibody generated against a recombinant region of human haptoglobin. This HP Antibody is Protein Microarray Validated using a HuProt array containing more than 19,000 full-length human proteins. NSJ Bioreagents offers this Haptoglobin Blood Protein Antibody for research into haptoglobin expression, hemoglobin handling and acute-phase protein biology.
For an additional Protein Microarray Validated monoclonal antibody to haptoglobin, see our Haptoglobin Antibody HP/3835 / Haptoglobin Protein Antibody page.
Optimal dilution of the HP Antibody HP/3831 / Haptoglobin Blood Protein Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant partial protein sequence (within amino acids 100-250) from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the HP antibody.
Aliquot the HP antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
