Hemoglobin, alpha 2
Hemoglobin, alpha 2[5]also known asHBA2is agenethat in humans codes for the alpha globin chain ofhemoglobin.[6][7]
Function
[edit]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 (α2) andHBA1(α1) coding sequences are identical. These genes differ slightly over the 5' untranslated regions and the introns, but they differ significantly over the 3' untranslated regions.
Protein
[edit]Two alpha chains plus two beta chains constituteHbA,which in normal adult life accounts for about 97% of the totalhemoglobin;alpha chains combine with delta chains to constituteHbA-2,which withHbF(fetal hemoglobin), composed of alpha and gamma chains, make up the remaining 3% of adult hemoglobin.
Clinical significance
[edit]Alpha-thalassemiasmost commonly result from deletions of any of the four alpha alleles, although some alpha thalassemias have been reported that are due to mutations other than deletion. Deletion of 1 or 2 alleles is clinically silent. Deletion of 3 alleles causes HbH disease, resulting in anemia and hepatosplenomegaly. Deletion of all 4 alleles is lethal because it renders the body unable to make fetal hemoglobin (HbF), adult hemoglobin (HbA) or adult variant hemoglobin (HbA2), and results inhydrops fetalis.[8]
