Glycosylation is the most abundant and complex protein modification, and can have a
profound structural and functional effect on the conjugate. The oligosaccharide fraction is …

Haptoglobin (Hp) belongs to the family of acute-phase plasma proteins and represents the
most important plasma detoxifier of hemoglobin (Hb). The basic Hp molecule is a tetrameric …

Abstract Significance: Haptoglobin (Hp) is an abundant human plasma protein that tightly
captures hemoglobin (Hb) during hemolysis. The Hb-Hp complex formation reduces the …

Angiogenesis is an important process in chronic inflammatory diseases. We observed that
sera from patients with systemic vasculitis stimulated angiogenesis in an in vitro model using …

Proteins which are transferred across two membrane bilayers into mitochondria and
chloroplasts have also now been found to have transient amino terminal regions (-3, 11, 12) …

It was found in our previous studies that the concentration of fucosylated haptoglobin had
increased in the sera of patients with pancreatic cancer (PC) compared to those of other …

The phenomenon of acute phase (AP) response can be reproduced in vitro using cultured
cells of hepatic origin by stimulation with the crude supernatant of activated monocytes …

Thirty-three kilobase pairs (kb) of human DNA containing the haptoglobin (Hp) and
haptoglobin-related (Hpr) gene pair were cloned, and the nucleotide sequence of 21-kb …

Human genomic clones of the haptoglobin Hp1F and the 'haptoglobin related'gene (Hpr)
have been isolated. The two genes are adjacent, spanning a region of approximately 21 kb …
