Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus; Mus
Also known as: Hbz
Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including heme binding activity; oxygen binding activity; and oxygen carrier activity. Predicted to contribute to haptoglobin binding activity and peroxidase activity. Acts upstream of or within erythrocyte maturation and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be part of haptoglobin-hemoglobin complex and hemoglobin complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; dorsal aorta; extraembryonic component; liver; and placenta. Orthologous to human HBZ (hemoglobin subunit zeta).

What's a GeneRIF?

Chimeric zeta globin exhibits oxygen binding characteristics which fall within the range observed in the adult mouse hemoglobin.
Title: The role of beta chains in the control of the hemoglobin oxygen binding function: chimeric human/mouse proteins, structure, and function.
mutant displays an alpha-thalassemia-like syndrome, modifying loci affect the penetrance of embryonic lethality
Title: zeta-/- Thalassemic mice are affected by two modifying loci and display unanticipated somatic recombination leading to inherited variation.

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.
