HBZ (hemoglobin subunit zeta)

Gene

• Entrez ID: 3050
• Gene name: Hemoglobin subunit zeta
• Gene symbol: HBZ
• Synonyms (NCBI Gene): HBAZ, HBZ-T1, HBZ1
• Chromosome: 16
• Chromosome location: 16p13.3
• Summary: Zeta-globin is an alpha-like hemoglobin. The zeta-globin polypeptide is synthesized in the yolk sac of the early embryo, while alpha-globin is produced throughout fetal and adult life. The zeta-globin gene is a member of the human alpha-globin gene cluste
