hemoglobin

Hemoglobin is an iron-containing protein found in red blood cells known for its oxygen-binding properties. It serves as an HO-1 inducer and is composed of heme, which binds with oxygen. Additionally, Hemoglobin transports other gases, such as carbon dioxide, nitric oxide, hydrogen sulfide, and sulfides, and acts as an antioxidant by absorbing excess oxygen in tissues.

Haptoglobin, Phenotype 2-2 is a plasma protein that binds hemoglobin (Hb) to remove free hemoglobin and possesses antioxidant activity. It can be utilized in research related to kidney failure and cardiovascular diseases associated with diabetes.
