4870-3979 is specific for human hemoglobin, a 66kDa metalloprotein composed of four globular subunits each of which is associated with an iron-containing heme group. The heme group is involved with oxygen transport from the lungs to the tissues and the globin molecule plays a major role in transporting carbon dioxide in the reverse direction.
Hemoglobin is found in the erythrocytes of all vertebrates. There is a wide diversity of amino acid sequences and substitutions within mammalian hemoglobins, however the molecular weight is generally around 66kDa with an iron content of about 0.34%. The level of hemoglobin in the blood is used in the diagnosis of anemia; levels in the feces are indicative of various clinical conditions.
4870-3979 shows <10% cross-reactivity with bovine hemoglobin.
