| 1. | Thus, the haptoglobin will stay normal if the hemolysis is not severe.
|
| 2. | In addition, the haptoglobin gene is expressed in murine and human adipose tissue.
|
| 3. | This causes a decline in haptoglobin levels.
|
| 4. | Therefore, haptoglobin is not a reliable way to differentiate between intravascular and extravascular hemolysis.
|
| 5. | This appears to be because haptoglobin related protein and apolipoprotein L-1 are unique to primates.
|
| 6. | The haem is then removed along with the bound haptoglobin from the blood by the reticuloendothelial system.
|
| 7. | Levy and his colleagues found that two forms of haptoglobin were too large to do a good job.
|
| 8. | In intravascular hemolysis, free hemoglobin will be released into circulation and hence haptoglobin will bind the hemoglobin.
|
| 9. | It is theorized that, because of this, haptoglobin has evolved into an acute-phase protein.
|
| 10. | Typical examples of glycoproteins consisting of glycoforms are the blood proteins as orosomucoid, antitrypsin, and haptoglobin.
