HBG1 Human Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single polypeptide chain containing 170 amino acids (1-147) and having a molecular mass of 18kDa. HBG1 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. The gamma globin genes which are HBG1 and HBG2, usually expressed in the fetal liver, spleen and bone marrow. 2 gamma chains together along with 2 alpha chains comprise fetal hemoglobin (HbF) which is normally replaced by mature hemoglobin (HbA) at birth. Gamma chain production continues into adulthood in several beta-thalassemias and linked situations. The two types of gamma chains differ at residue 136 where glycine is found in the G-gamma product (HBG2) and alanine is found in the A-gamma product (HBG1). The former is predominant at birth.
