Target Information

Haptoglobin is an α2-globulin plasma protein synthesized in the liver. It acts as an acute phase protein and scavenger of hemoglobin from hemolyzed red cells. The haptoglobin monomer consists of two α and two β chains; the α chains may be hp1Fa, hp1Sa, or hp2a types while the β chain is constant. Three major phenotypes are recognized: HP1-1, Hp2-1, and Hp2-2, in which the hp1a chain may be either the F or S type.
