Goat Haptoglobin ELISA Kit | HP elisa kit
Goat Haptoglobin (HP) ELISA Kit
Principle of the Assay: This assay is based on the competitive enzyme immunoassay for the detection of GEN in the sample. The coupling antigens are pre-coated on the micro-well stripes. The GEN in the sample and the coupling antigens pre-coated on the micro-well stripes compete for the anti-GEN antibodies. After the addition of the HRP-conjugate, the TMB substrate is added for coloration. The optical density (OD) value of the sample has a negative correlation with the GEN in it. This value is compared to the standard curve and the GEN concentration is subsequently obtained.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a preproprotein, which is processed to yield both alpha and beta chains, which subsequently combine as a tetramer to produce haptoglobin. Haptoglobin functions to bind free plasma hemoglobin, which allows degradative enzymes to gain access to the hemoglobin, while at the same time preventing loss of iron through the kidneys and protecting the kidneys from damage by hemoglobin. Mutations in this gene and/or its regulatory regions cause ahaptoglobinemia or hypohaptoglobinemia. This gene has also been linked to diabetic nephropathy, the incidence of coronary artery disease in type 1 diabetes, Crohn's disease, inflammatory disease behavior, primary sclerosing cholangitis, susceptibility to idiopathic Parkinson's disease, and a reduced incidence of Plasmodium falciparum malaria. The protein encoded also exhibits antimicrobial activity against bacteria. A similar duplicated gene is located next to this gene on chromosome 16. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]
Uniprot Description
HP: Haptoglobin combines with free plasma hemoglobin, preventing loss of iron through the kidneys and protecting the kidneys from damage by hemoglobin, while making the hemoglobin accessible to degradative enzymes. Defects in HP are the cause of anhaptoglobinemia (AHP). AHP is a condition characterized by the absence of the serum glycoprotein haptoglobin. Serum levels of haptoglobin vary among normal persons: levels are low in the neonatal period and in the elderly, differ by population, and can be influenced by environmental factors, such as infection. Secondary hypohaptoglobinemia can occur as a consequence of hemolysis, during which haptoglobin binds to free hemoglobin. Belongs to the peptidase S1 family.

Product Notes
The Goat HP hp (Catalog #AAA280796) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA280796 ELISA Kit recognizes Goat HP. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Haptoglobin, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
