Mouse Anti-Porcine Haptoglobin Monoclonal Antibody
Product Overview
BioVenic mouse monoclonal antibody is specific for haptoglobin. It is affinity purified by protein A. It can be applied to WB, IHC and ELISA assays of haptoglobin.
Specifications
Target Information
Porcine haptoglobin (pHp) is a plasma glycoprotein found in pigs that plays a critical role in the immune response and iron metabolism. It is an acute-phase protein that binds to free hemoglobin released during hemolysis, preventing the loss of iron and the oxidative damage that can be caused by free hemoglobin in the bloodstream. pHp is part of the innate immune system and acts as a scavenger, protecting the body from the detrimental effects of hemoglobin. It also helps in the recycling of iron, which is a vital component of hemoglobin, by transporting the hemoglobin-haptoglobin complex to the liver for processing and iron recovery.
