Haptoglobin (Haptoglobin, Mixed Type)

Target (abbrv.) Haptoglobin, Mixed Type
Target (full name) Haptoglobin
Somalogic ID (Sequence ID) SL000437 (3054-3_2)
Entrez Gene Symbol HP
UniProt ID P00738
UniProt Comment
  • As a result of hemolysis, hemoglobin is found to accumulate in the kidney and is secreted in the urine. Haptoglobin captures, and combines with free plasma hemoglobin to allow hepatic recycling of heme iron and to prevent kidney damage. Haptoglobin also acts as an Antimicrobial; Antioxidant, has antibacterial activity and plays a role in modulating many aspects of the acute phase response. Hemoglobin/haptoglobin complexes are rapidely cleared by the macrophage CD163 scavenger receptor expressed on the surface of liver Kupfer cells through an endocytic lysosomal degradation pathway.
Biomarker applications (based on IPA annotation)
  • diagnosis
  • efficacy
  • unspecified application
Reactome
  • Scavenging of heme from plasma

Ferritin

Target (abbrv.) Ferritin
Target (full name) Ferritin
Somalogic ID (Sequence ID) SL000420 (3031-66_1)
Entrez Gene Symbol FTH1, FTL
UniProt ID P02794, P02792
UniProt Comment
  • P02794: Stores iron in a soluble, non-toxic, readily available form. Important for iron homeostasis. Has ferroxidase activity. Iron is taken up in the ferrous form and deposited as ferric hydroxides after oxidation. Also plays a role in delivery of iron to cells. Mediates iron uptake in capsule cells of the developing kidney (By similarity).

Heparin cofactor 2 (Heparin cofactor II)

Target (abbrv.) Heparin cofactor II
Target (full name) Heparin cofactor 2
Somalogic ID (Sequence ID) SL004466 (3316-58_1)
Entrez Gene Symbol SERPIND1
UniProt ID P05546
UniProt Comment
  • Thrombin inhibitor activated by the glycosaminoglycans, heparin or dermatan sulfate. In the presence of the latter, HC-II becomes the predominant thrombin inhibitor in place of antithrombin III (AT-III). Also inhibits chymotrypsin, but in a glycosaminoglycan-independent manner.
Targeted by drugs (based on IPA annotation)
  • ardeparin
  • glucuronyl glucosamine glycan sulfate
Biomarker applications (based on IPA annotation)
  • disease progression
Wiki Pathways
  • Complement and Coagulation Cascades
Reactome
  • Common Pathway of Fibrin Clot Formation
  • Intrinsic Pathway of Fibrin Clot Formation

All locus annotations are based on the sentinel SNP (rs217181) and 2 proxy variant(s) that is/are in linkage disequilibrium r2 ≥ 0.8. Linkage disequilibrium is based on data from the 1000 Genomes Project, phase 3 version 5, European population and was retrieved using SNiPA's Block Annotation feature.
