Characterization of a chicken hemoglobin-binding protein: A novel haptoglobin

Evolutionary Aspects of Hemoglobin Scavengers

“…In chicken, however, the protein was detected only after the plasma level was increased by turpentine-induced inflammation (56). Subsequently, an Hb-binding protein was isolated from chicken serum, and it was noted that it bound chicken and turtle Hb, but not Hb from various mammals; in contrast, human Hp was found to bind both chicken and human Hb with great affinity (19, 55). These findings suggest that the chicken protein binds Hb in a different way from human Hp.…”

Haptoglobin, a hemoglobin-binding plasma protein, is present in bony fish and mammals but not in frog and chicken

“…Based on this indirect method, it has been claimed that the plasma of a number of animals from different classes, such as birds, snakes, turtles, and fish, contain Hp (5). Hb-binding proteins have been isolated from newt and chicken plasma, but their amino acid sequences have not been determined (6,7).…”
