Haptoglobin (HP) is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 16q22.2. There are two splice variants of the gene namely, HP1 and HP2.
Immunogen
Human haptoglobin
Application
Anti-Haptoglobin antibody is suitable for use in Ouchterlony double diffusion (1:16) and immunoelectrophoresis.
Anti-Haptoglobin antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunohistochemistry and western blotting.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Haptoglobin is an antioxidant protein that binds with hemoglobin. Haptoglobin primarily functions to inhibit oxidative damage induced by hemoglobin. Alterations in haptoglobin have been associated with the risk of diabetic vascular disorders such as retinopathy, nephropathy and cardiovascular diseases . Anti-Haptoglobin antibody is specific for haptoglobin in humans.
Physical form
Lyophilized from 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.2
Reconstitution
Reconstitute with 2 ml deionized water.

Vascular complications cause serious morbidity in patients with diabetes mellitus. Three such complications are nephropathy, retinopathy and accelerated atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. There is currently scant evidence of a genetic marker that predicts which patients will have vascular complications. Oxidative stress
Haptoglobin (Hp) is a hemoglobin (Hb) binding protein whose major function is to prevent heme-iron mediated oxidation. The polymorphic nature of the Hp gene results in varying levels of antioxidant function associated with the protein products. Multiple clinical studies have
