  3. Hemoglobin A - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin_A

    Two globin chains that have heme groups combine to form hemoglobin. One of the chains is an alpha chain and the other is a non-alpha chain. Non-alpha chain nature in hemoglobin molecules varies due to different variables. Fetuses have a non-alpha chain called gamma and after birth it is then called beta. The beta chain will pair with the alpha ...

  4. Hemoglobin, alpha 2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin,_alpha_2

    The human alpha globin gene cluster is located on chromosome 16 and spans about 30 kb, including seven alpha like globin genes and pseudogenes: 5'- HBZ - HBZP1 - HBM - HBAP1 - HBA2 - HBA1 - HBQ1-3'. The HBA2 (α 2) and HBA1 (α 1) coding sequences are identical. These genes differ slightly over the 5' untranslated regions and the introns, but ...

  5. Globin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globin

    This 'globin fold' typically consists of eight alpha helices, although some proteins have additional helix extensions at their termini. [4] Since the globin fold contains only helices, it is classified as an all-alpha protein fold. The globin fold is found in its namesake globin families as well as in phycocyanins. The globin fold was thus the ...

  6. Hemoglobin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin

    For example, the most common hemoglobin sequences in humans, bonobos and chimpanzees are completely identical, with exactly the same alpha and beta globin protein chains. [31] [32] [33] Human and gorilla hemoglobin differ in one amino acid in both alpha and beta chains, and these differences grow larger between less closely related species.

  7. Hemoglobin subunit beta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin_subunit_beta

    Hemoglobin subunit beta (beta globin, β-globin, haemoglobin beta, hemoglobin beta) is a globin protein, coded for by the HBB gene, which along with alpha globin , makes up the most common form of haemoglobin in adult humans, hemoglobin A (HbA). [5] It is 147 amino acids long and has a molecular weight of 15,867 Da.

  8. Hemoglobin variants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin_variants

    Hemoglobin variants occur when there are mutations in specific genes that code for the protein chains, known as globins, which make up the hemoglobin molecule. This leads to amino acid substitutions in the hemoglobin molecule that could affect the structure, properties, and/or the stability of the hemoglobin molecule.

  9. Embryonic hemoglobin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embryonic_hemoglobin

    Structure of hemoglobin Gower 2. Hemoglobin Gower 2 (also referred to as α 2 ε 2 or HbE Gower-2) is a form of hemoglobin existing at low levels during embryonic and fetal life. It is composed of two alpha chains and two epsilon chains, and is somewhat unstable, though not as much as hemoglobin Gower 1. [4]
