Native Human Serum Haptoglobin

• Cat.No.: HP-8153H
• Product Overview: Human Serum Haptoglobin was purified from Human Serum.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: Human Serum
• Tag: Non
• Description: Haptoglobin is a protein in the blood plasma that binds free hemoglobin released from erythrocytes with high affinity and thereby inhibits its oxidative activity. The haptoglobin-hemoglobin complex will then be removed by the reticuloendothelial system (mostly the spleen). Haptoglobin is a serum protein that consists of two alpha and two beta chains connected by disulfide bridges. Human haptoglobin acts as a hemoglobin scavenger and has been associated with protease inhibitory activity. Human Haptoglobin is a positive acute phase reactant, the levels of which increase significantly in human(s) in response to inflammation, tissue injury or disease.
