Summary
Predicted to enable several functions, including heme binding activity; hemoglobin alpha binding activity; and oxygen carrier activity. Predicted to contribute to haptoglobin binding activity and peroxidase activity. Predicted to be involved in hydrogen peroxide catabolic process. Predicted to be part of haptoglobin-hemoglobin complex and hemoglobin complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in delta beta-thalassemia and sickle cell anemia. Orthologous to human HBG1 (hemoglobin subunit gamma 1) and HBG2 (hemoglobin subunit gamma 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
