Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 3043
Gene name Hemoglobin subunit beta
Gene symbol HBB
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CD113t-CECYT6beta-globin
Chromosome 11
Chromosome location 11p15.4
Summary 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 causes sickle cell anemia
