Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 51327
Gene name Alpha hemoglobin stabilizing protein
Gene symbol AHSP
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
EDRFERAF
Chromosome 16
Chromosome location 16p11.2
Summary This gene encodes a molecular chaperone which binds specifically to free alpha-globin and is involved in hemoglobin assembly. The encoded protein binds to monomeric alpha-globin until it has been transferred to beta-globin to form a heterodimer, which in

Protein name Alpha-hemoglobin-stabilizing protein (Erythroid differentiation-related factor) (Erythroid-associated factor)
Protein function Acts as a chaperone to prevent the harmful aggregation of alpha-hemoglobin during normal erythroid cell development. Specifically protects free alpha-hemoglobin from precipitation. It is predicted to modulate pathological states of alpha-hemoglo
