Principle of the Assay: Human Hemopexin ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immunesorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for Hemopexin has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(Expression system for standard: NSO; Immunogen sequence: T24-H462) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for Hemopexin is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the Human Hemopexin amount of sample captured in plate.
Background/Introduction: Hemopexin (or haemopexin; HPX), also known as beta-1B-glycoprotein, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HPX gene and belongs to hemopexin family of proteins. Hemopexin binds heme with the highest affinity of any known protein. Its function is scavenging the heme released or lost by the turnover of heme proteins such as hemoglobin and thus protects the body from the oxidative damage that free heme can cause. In addition, hemopexin releases its bound ligand for internalisation upon interacting with a specific receptor situated on the surface of liver cells. This function of hemopexin is to preserve the body's iron.

Product Notes
The Human HPX hpx (Catalog #AAA46666) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA46666 ELISA Kit recognizes Human HPX. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Hemopexin, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
