(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3042
Official gene symbolHBM
Full namehemoglobin, mu
Aliases,HBAP2,
Gene summaryThe human alpha globin gene cluster located on chromosome 16 spans about 30 kb and includes seven loci: 5'- zeta - pseudozeta - mu - pseudoalpha-1 - alpha-2 - alpha-1 - theta - 3'. This gene has an ORF encoding a 141 aa polypeptide which is similar to the delta globins found in reptiles and birds. This locus was originally described as a pseudogene; however, it is currently thought to be a protein-coding gene. [provided by RefSeq]
