HBQ1: Proteins and Enzymes

The HBQ1 gene codes a hemoglobin subunit theta-1 protein that is 142 amino acids long at a mass of approximately 15 kDA. The HBQ1 gene is found in human fetal erythroid tissue as it is expressed early in embryonic life (before 5 weeks) and is part of the human alpha-globin gene cluster that includes five functional genes and two pseudogenes.
