Background: Hemoglobin zeta

Hemoglobin is a tetrameric heme-containing protein that is responsible for the transport of oxygen by red blood cells in the circulation. For most of fetal development and adulthood, hemoglobin consists of two alpha chains and two beta chains. Hemoglobin zeta (HBZ) is an approximately 15 kDa alpha chain-like protein that is produced during the first few weeks of embryogenesis until the onset of alpha chain expression. Its expression is prolonged in a0-thalassemia which is characterized by deficient alpha chain production. The Gower-1, Portland-1, and Portland-2 forms of hemoglobin consist of two zeta chains in association with either two epsilon, gamma, or beta chains, respectively. Human Hemoglobin zeta shares 79% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat Hemoglobin zeta.
