单词	haptoglobin
释义	haptoglobin /ˌhaptə(ʊ)ˈɡləʊbɪn / noun [mass noun] Biochemistry A protein present in blood serum which binds to and removes free haemoglobin from the bloodstream.The research team, led by Dr. Andrew Levy of the Faculty of Medicine, had earlier demonstrated that diabetics with a particular form of a blood protein called haptoglobin had as much as a 500% increased risk of developing heart disease.... Macrophages, scavenger-like cells that roam the body, have a surface receptor called CD 163 which binds the protein haptoglobin. Deer in fact may be a little unusual in this respect in that they have unusually, low levels of another protein haptoglobin, which is involved in the clearance of haemoglobin. Origin 1940s: from Greek haptein 'fasten' + (haemo)globin.
