ab197881 staining Hemopexin in HepG2 cells. The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab197881 at a 1/100 dilution (shown in green) and ab195889, Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin (Alexa Fluor® 594), at a 1/250 dilution (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

This product also gave a positive signal under the same testing conditions in HepG2 cells fixed with 100% methanol (5 min)

Overlay histogram showing HepG2 cells stained with ab197881 (red line). The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab197881, 1/500 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) Alexa Fluor® 488 used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control.

Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter.

This antibody gave a positive signal in HepG2 fixed with 80% methanol (5 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min used under the same conditions.

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.
