Entrez ID 3240
Gene name Haptoglobin
Gene symbol HP
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
BPHP2ALPHA2HPA1S
Chromosome 16
Chromosome location 16q22.2
Summary This gene encodes a preproprotein, which is processed to yield both alpha and beta chains, which subsequently combine as a tetramer to produce haptoglobin. Haptoglobin functions to bind free plasma hemoglobin, which allows degradative enzymes to gain acce

Protein name Haptoglobin (Zonulin) [Cleaved into: Haptoglobin alpha chain; Haptoglobin beta chain]
Protein function As a result of hemolysis, hemoglobin is found to accumulate in the kidney and is secreted in the urine. Haptoglobin captures, and combines with free plasma hemoglobin to allow hepatic recycling of heme iron and to prevent kidney damage. Haptoglo
