| 11. | Hemolyzed hemoglobin is bound to a protein in plasma called haptoglobin, which is not excreted by the kidney.
|
| 12. | Haptoglobin is produced mostly by hepatic cells but also by other tissues such as skin, lung and kidney.
|
| 13. | The protein involved is haptoglobin, which plays a role in cleaning up free radicals caused by high blood sugar.
|
| 14. | Haptoglobin, in its simplest form, consists of two alpha and two beta chains, connected by disulfide bridges.
|
| 15. | This type of destruction does not release hemoglobin into the peripheral blood, so the haptoglobin cannot bind to it.
|
| 16. | The trypanosome haptoglobin-hemoglobin receptor is an elongated three a-helical bundle with a small membrane distal head.
|
| 17. | Other treatment possibilities include giving patients haptoglobin, a naturally occurring substance that clears hemoglobin from the body, he said.
|
| 18. | Haptoglobin levels are low in malaria because of the haemolysis that occurs with the release of the merozoites into the blood.
|
| 19. | The rupture of the erythrocytes results in the release of free haem into the blood where it is bound by haptoglobin.
|
| 20. | The association HPR with haemoglobin allows TLF-1 binding and uptake via the trypanosome haptoglobin-hemoglobin receptor ( TbHpHbR ).
