ID:HBG1_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Hemoglobin subunit gamma-1; AltName: Full=Gamma-1-globin; AltName: Full=Hb F Agamma; AltName: Full=Hemoglobin gamma-1 chain; AltName: Full=Hemoglobin gamma-A chain; FUNCTION: Gamma chains make up the fetal hemoglobin F, in combination with alpha chains. SUBUNIT: Heterotetramer of two alpha chains and two gamma chains in fetal hemoglobin (Hb F). In the case of deletions affecting one or more of the alpha chains the excess gamma chains form homotetramers that exhibit neither Bohr effect nor heme-heme cooperativity (hemoglobin Bart's). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Red blood cells. DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Expressed until four or five weeks after birth. PTM: Acetylation of Gly-2 converts Hb F to the minor Hb F1. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the globin family. WEB RESOURCE: Name=HbVar; Note=Human hemoglobin variants and thalassemias; URL="http://globin.bx.psu.edu/cgi-bin/hbvar/query_vars3?mode=directlink&gene=HBG1";
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
