Figures & data
Figure 1. Structure of the human HP gene. The human HP2 allele arose by duplication of exons 3 and 4 of the HP1 allele. HP, Haptoglobin; kb, kilobase
Figure 2. The structure of pre-HP1 and pre-HP2, and HP1 and HP2 is depicted on the right. It is also shown how the different proteins can be visualized on western blot (left side). (Adapted fromCitation8). HP, Haptoglobin; MW, molecular weight; kDa, kilo dalton
Table 1. Distribution of HP alleles and genotypes in healthy controls, CD and UC
Figure 3. Haptoglobin serum levels in healthy controls for each HP genotype. Values represent medians (lines) with their quartiles (upper and lower level box).
Figure 4. Summary diagram of the different ways HP(2) can be involved in IBD pathogenesis. HP, Haptoglobin
