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 ...

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 ...
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.

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.
Hemoglobin Constant Spring is a variant of hemoglobin in which a mutation in the alpha globin gene produces an alpha globin chain that is abnormally long. It is the most common nondeletional alpha-thalassemia mutation associated with hemoglobin H disease. [1]
The term alpha chain is normally used to indicate one of the subunits of a multi-subunit protein. [1] The term "chain" is a general term given to any peptide sequence. [2] It can often refer more specifically to mean: a part of the T-cell receptor, the fibrinogen alpha chain, the integrin alpha chain, Hemoglobin, alpha 1
