Alpha Hemoglobin Stabilizing Protein Human Recombinant ( AHSP Human )

AHSP Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 102 amino acids (1-102 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 11.8kDa.The AHSP is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Alpha-hemoglobin stabilizing protein (AHSP) is an erythroid-specific protein that acts as a chaperone to prevent the aggregation of A-hemoglobin during normal erythroid cell development. AHSP specifically protects free A-hemoglobin from precipitation in live cells and in solution. AHSP is expected to modulate pathological states of alpha-hemoglobin excess such as beta-thalassemia. Furthermore, AHSP promotes alpha globin chain stability in human erythropoiesis. In addition, the AHSP stabilizes the alpha-Hb chain, thus avoiding its precipitation and its ability to generate ROS, which is implicated in cell death. AHSP is expressed in blood and bone marrow. AHSP subunit is a monomer, it forms a heterodimer with free alpha-hemoglobin. On the other hand, AHSP does not bind beta-hemoglobin nor alpha2beta2 hemoglobin A. AHSP is downregulated in TSEs (transmissible spongiform encephalopathies).
