Rat Haptoglobin, HPT ELISA Kit, 96T| Sensitivity: 0.022ng/L | Range: 0.05-20ug/mL Buffers & Solutions Associated to surface IgM-receptor

Associated to surface IgM-receptor

The type I cytokeratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 17q12-q21

Also in contrast to other MMP's

Displays Ca(2+)-dependent binding to phospholipid membranes (By similarity)

Further metabolizes all trans-retinoic acid (atRA) to 4-hydroxyretinoate and may play a role in hepatic atRA clearance (PubMed: 11093772)

Haptoglobin captures, and combines with free plasma hemoglobin to allow hepatic recycling of heme iron and to prevent kidney damage. Haptoglobin also acts as an antioxidant, has antibacterial activity and plays a role in modulating many aspects of the acute phase response. Hemoglobin haptoglobin complexes are rapidly cleared by the macrophage CD163
