The Mouse Monoclonal anti-Hemoglobin Subunit beta antibody (Clone 7B12) (ABIN614613) specifically detects Hemoglobin Subunit beta in WB, IHC (p) and EIA.
The antibody is reactive with Human samples.
The alpha (HBA) and beta (HBB) loci determine the structure of the 2 types of polypeptide chains in adult hemoglobin, Hb A. The normal adult hemoglobin tetramer consists of two alpha chains and two beta chains. Mutant beta globin that sickles causes sickle cell anemia. Absence of beta chain causes beta-zero-thalassemia. Reduced amounts of detectable beta globin causes beta-plus-thalassemia. The order of the genes in the beta-globin cluster is 5'-epsilon -- gamma-G -- gamma-A -- delta -- beta--3'.Synonyms: Beta-globin, HBB
