Haptoglobin, inflammation and disease.

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene - 1 Aug 2008

Quaye Isaac K

Abstract excerpt

Haptoglobin is an acute phase protein that scavenges haemoglobin in the event of intravascular or extravascular haemolysis. The protein exists in humans as three main phenotypes, Hp1-1, Hp2-2 and Hp2-1. Accumulated data on the protein's function has established its strong association with diseases that have inflammatory causes. These include parasitic (malaria), infectious (HIV, tuberculosis) and non-infectious...
