The HPX Antibody from MyBioSource.com is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody to hemopexin, and HPX. This antibody recognizes Human antigen. The HPX Antibody has been validated for the following applications: ELISA, Immunohistochemistry, and Western Blot.
Description
Description: This gene encodes a plasma glycoprotein that binds heme with high affinity. The encoded protein is an acute phase protein that transports heme from the plasma to the liver and may be involved in protecting cells from oxidative stress.
Function: Binds heme and transports it to the liver for breakdown and iron recovery, after which the free hemopexin returns to the circulation.
Subunit Structure: Interacts with HEV ORF3 protein. Interacts with FLVCR1.
Post-translational Modifications: N-and O-glycosylated. O-glycosylated with core 1 or possibly core 8 glycans. O-glycosylation in the 30-40 region is minor compared to glycosylation at Thr-24 and Thr-29.
Similarity: Belongs to the hemopexin family
