Chaperone-like Activity of Human Haptoglobin: Similarity with alpha - Crystallin

Publication at First Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics |

Abstract

Human haptoglobin has been shown to have chaperone-like activity in preventing thermally induced aggregation of catalase and g-crystallin. Refolding studies have shown that haptoglobin exhibits its activity predominantly on the unfolding pathway.
