BioVenic mouse monoclonal antibody is specific for hemopexin. It is affinity purified by protein G. It can be applied to WB, IHC, IF-P, FC and ELISA assays of hemopexin.
Specifications
Target Information
Porcine hemopexin (pHPX) is a serum glycoprotein found in pigs that plays a vital role in heme metabolism. It is responsible for the transport and scavenging of free heme, a molecule that can be toxic to cells if not properly managed. Heme, a component of hemoglobin, is released during the breakdown of red blood cells and must be safely sequestered to prevent oxidative damage and inflammation. pHPX binds to heme with high affinity, forming a stable complex that is then taken up by liver cells, where the heme is either stored, reused, or degraded. This process is essential for maintaining heme homeostasis and preventing the harmful effects of free heme on tissues.
