Recombinant Human Hemoglobin, Alpha 2 is supplied as a recombinant protein for in vitro research use.
Background
HBA2 is a member of the globin family. HBA2 takes part in oxygen transport from the lung to the different peripheral tissues. The coding sequences of HBA2 and HBA1 are equal but have a small difference over the 5' untranslated regions and the introns, and a large difference over the 3' untranslated regions. HbA is constituted from two alpha chains and two beta chains which in standard adult life hold about 97% of the total hemoglobin; alpha chains associate with delta chains to create HbA-2 that with HbF (fetal hemoglobin) form the remaining 3% of adult hemoglobin. Alpha thalassemia is caused by removal of each of the alpha genes or removal of both HBA2 and HBA1; nondeletion alpha thalassemias has also been reported.
Product format
Provided as a recombinant protein suitable for in vitro workflows such as binding studies, screening, and assay development. Refer to the specifications table for expression format and molecular properties.
