HPR - haptoglobin-related protein Gene
Also Known as HP; A-259H10.2
Species: Homo sapiens
About HPR
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 140 orthologues and 16 paralogues. Restricted expression toward liver (RPKM 3276.0).
Summary
This gene encodes a haptoglobin-related protein that binds Hemoglobin as efficiently as haptoglobin. Unlike haptoglobin, plasma concentration of this protein is unaffected in patients with sickle cell anemia and extensive intravascular hemolysis, suggesting a difference in binding between haptoglobin-hemoglobin and haptoglobin-related protein-hemoglobin complexes to CD163, the Hemoglobin scavenger receptor. This protein may also be a clinically important predictor of recurrence of breast Cancer. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]
