Product details

Human Hemopexin ELISA Kit ab221838 is a rapid single-wash 90-min Sandwich ELISA to measure Human Hemopexin in cell culture supernatant, citrate plasma, EDTA plasma, heparin plasma, serum. This SimpleStep sensitivity is 370 pg/mL.

How the assay works

Human Hemopexin SimpleStep ELISA®employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details.

Assay Specificity

Our SimpleStep ELISA® kits use recombinant monoclonal antibodies rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility, improved sensitivity and specificity and ease of scalability and security of supply.
Please refer to our protocol booklet for more details.

Human Hemopexin ELISA Kit ab221838 protocol summary

Design your own immunoassay

We offer the antibody pair used in this kit in a BSA and Azide-free format, ready for conjugation:

- Anti-Hemopexin antibody [EPR18691-189] - BSA and Azide free (Capture) ab244914
- Anti-Hemopexin antibody [EPR18691-175] - BSA and Azide free (Detector) ab244914

Hemopexin is a heme-binding plasma glycoprotein which, after haptoglobin, forms the second line of defense against hemoglobin-mediated oxidative damage during intravascular hemolysis. A decrease in plasma hemopexin concentration reflects a recent release of heme compounds in the extracellular compartment. Heme–Hemopexin complexes are delivered to hepatocytes by receptor-mediated endocytosis after which Hemopexin is recycled to the circulation. Studies indicated that increased Hemopexin level associate with minimal change disease (MCD), sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD), heavy-drinking chronic alcoholics, hemolytic anemias, chronic neuromuscular diseases and acute intermittent porphyria.

Supplementary information

Hemopexin also known as HPX is a glycoprotein that transports heme in the blood. It has a molecular weight of approximately 57 kDa and is primarily expressed in the liver. Hemopexin binds to free heme with high affinity which prevents oxidative damage and conserves iron. It transports the heme to hepatocytes for breakdown and recycling protecting cells from iron-mediated toxicity and oxidative stress.
Biological function summary

The hemopexin function relates to protecting tissues from the harmful effects of free heme. Hemopexin does not work as part of a complex in this process but mainly acts independently. Its high binding affinity plays an important role in maintaining heme homeostasis in the plasma and tissues. By controlling heme levels hemopexin supports overall cellular health and function.

Pathways

The hemopexin molecular weight allows it to fit effectively within the heme metabolism and iron recycling pathways. This protein plays a significant role by delivering heme to the liver and facilitating its degradation by heme oxygenase. Hemopexin interacts closely with heme oxygenase and albumin two proteins important for the management of heme and iron levels in the body.

Several hemopexin functions contribute to the understanding of conditions such as hemolytic anemia and acute liver injury. In hemolytic anemia hemopexin helps mitigate the effects of increased heme levels due to excessive red blood cell breakdown. In the context of liver injury the protein assists in the detoxification process and supports hepatic function. Hemopexin-related proteins such as heme oxygenase link these diseases to hemopexin by their roles in managing oxidative stress and heme catabolism.
