A newly discovered human α-globin gene
27 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
A previously undefined transcript with significant homology to the pseudo-alpha2 region of the alpha-globin locus on human chromosome 16 was detected as part of an effort to better define the transcriptional profiles of human reticulocytes. Cloning and sequencing of that transcript (GenBank AY698022; named mu-globin) revealed an insert with a 423-nucleotide open reading frame. BLASTP and ClustalW and phylogenetic...
