Human Haptoglobin
Haptoglobin is a human protein with high affinity for haemoglobin. This biobrick is a synthetic gene optimized for expression in E. coli.
Usage and Biology
In normal human blood plasma, haptoglobin circulates and binds to any free haemoglobin released from red blood cells. This is very important in normal physiology since free haemoglobin has potential damaging oxidative activity. The tight haptoglobin-haemoglobin complex can then be removed by the reticuloendothelial system, which is a part of the immune system. Engineered haptoglobin therefore has the potential to bind to, and potentially allow detection of, any free haemoglobin found in the environment.
