haptoglobin

The α2 region is mostly haptoglobin, α2-macroglobulin, α2-antiplasmin and ceruloplasmin.

Thus, the haptoglobin will stay normal if the hemolysis is not severe.

Dr. Levy and his colleagues found that two forms of haptoglobin were too large to do a good job.

Some studies associate certain haptoglobin phenotypes with the risk of developing schizophrenia.

The protein involved is haptoglobin, which plays a role in cleaning up free radicals caused by high blood sugar.

Haptoglobin had been shown to be expressed in adipose tissue of cattle as well.

It is theorized that, because of this, haptoglobin has evolved into an acute-phase protein.

This zone consists principally of alpha-2 macroglobulin and haptoglobin.

This type of destruction does not release hemoglobin into the peripheral blood, so the haptoglobin cannot bind to it.

Environmental disasters, such as oil spills, may increase levels of blood haptoglobin and interleukin-6 immunoreactive protein, but decrease body mass.

More specifically, haptoglobin 2-2 phenotypes contribute to the characteristic of sodium-resistance in humans.

A protein called haptoglobin, that binds with hemoglobin, is included in the alpha-2 globulin fraction.

In addition, the haptoglobin gene is expressed in murine and human adipose tissue.

Both Fatma and Juliet were O-positive, but they differed on the haptoglobin test.

Internally, they are somewhat unique in that, unlike most amphibians, they have no haptoglobin in their blood.

Hemolyzed hemoglobin is bound to a protein in plasma called haptoglobin which is not excreted by the kidney.

Since the reticuloendothelial system will remove the haptoglobin-hemoglobin complex from the body, haptoglobin levels will be decreased in hemolytic anemias.

In intravascular hemolysis, free hemoglobin will be released into circulation and hence haptoglobin will bind the Hb.

Typical examples of glycoproteins consisting of glycoforms are the blood proteins as orosomucoid, antitrypsin, and haptoglobin.

Differential effects of haptoglobin and albumin on the oxygenation of arachidonic acid during prostaglandin biosynthesis.

In terms of the other groupings, I think there was some difference between the two of them on a couple-maybe the haptoglobin, but don't hold me to it.

In blood plasma, haptoglobin binds free hemoglobin (Hb) released from erythrocytes with high affinity and thereby inhibits its oxidative activity.

This gene encodes a preproprotein that is processed to yield both alpha and beta chains, which subsequently combine as a tetramer to produce haptoglobin.

A positive test result occurs when the haptoglobin binding capacity of the blood is saturated, leading to heme released from cell free hemoglobin to bind to albumin.

The haptoglobin Hp2-2 allele may be another genetic risk factor, possibly because it binds hemoglobin poorly and thus allows more iron to escape and damage tissues.
