Also known as: GloA; Glnc1; Hba-a1
Summary: Enables heme binding activity and organic acid binding activity. Contributes to oxygen binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including nitric oxide transport; oxygen transport; and response to hydrogen peroxide. Part of hemoglobin complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Heinz body anemia; alpha thalassemia; familial erythrocytosis 7; and hemoglobin H disease. Orthologous to human HBA1 (hemoglobin subunit alpha 1) and HBA2 (hemoglobin subunit alpha 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

A role for alpha-haemoglobin is a regulator of catecholaminergic cell metabolism required for phenotype acquisition and maintenance.
Title: α-Haemoglobin regulates sympathoadrenal cell metabolism to maintain a catecholaminergic phenotype.
The objective of this study was to test whether amino acid differences among triplicated alpha-globin paralogs are attributable to a relaxation of purifying selection or to a history of positive selection.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
