Tissue, temporal and inducible expression pattern of haptoglobin in mice

Abstract excerpt

Haptoglobin (Hp) is a member of the acute phase plasma proteins previously thought to be synthesized solely by the adult liver. The present study analyzes the tissue and temporal expression pattern of endogenous haptoglobin in the mouse and acute phase inducibility in various tissues. The liver is found to be the major site of haptoglobin expression but significant expression levels were also observed in the lung...
