HBB (hemoglobin subunit β) codes for a β-globin that consists of three exons. This gene is located on human chromosome 11p15. HBB is a serum protein that belongs to the histone-like protein family.
The alpha (HBA) and beta (HBB) loci determine the structure of the 2 types of polypeptide chains in adult hemoglobin, Hb A. The normal adult hemoglobin tetramer consists of two alpha chains and two beta chains. Mutant beta globin causes sickle cell anemia. Absence of beta chain causes beta-zero-thalassemia. Reduced amounts of detectable beta globin causes beta-plus-thalassemia. The order of the genes in the beta-globin cluster is 5′-epsilon -- gamma-G -- gamma-A -- delta -- beta--3′.

Immunogen
HBB (AAH07075, 38 a.a. ~ 147 a.a) partial recombinant protein with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26 KDa.
HBB (hemoglobin subunit β) participates in oxygen transport from the lung to various peripheral tissues. Mutation in HBB result in Sickle cell disease (SCD). Overexpression of HBB has been observed in patients with periodontal disease.
