Abstract excerpt
Hb Presbyterian is a variant hemoglobin that carries Lys at Asn-108 of beta-globin. This variant Lys(beta108) residue enhances the stability of Hb in the deoxy-state, conferring the low affinity for oxygen-binding in vitro. In the present study, we generated mutant mice carrying the Presbyterian mutation (Asn(beta108)-->Lys) at the beta-globin locus by a targeted knock-in strategy. Heterozygous mice showed the...
