NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The gamma globin genes (HBG1 and HBG2) are normally expressed in the fetal liver, spleen and bone marrow. Two gamma chains together with two alpha chains constitute fetal hemoglobin (HbF) which is normally replaced by adult hemoglobin (HbA) at birth. In some beta-thalassemias and related conditions, gamma chain production continues into adulthood. 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. The order of the genes in the beta-globin cluster is: 5'- epsilon -- gamma-G -- gamma-A -- delta -- beta--3'. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
HBG2: Gamma chains make up the fetal hemoglobin F, in combination with alpha chains. Defects in HBG2 are the cause of cyanosis transient neonatal (TNCY). TNCY is a disorder characterized by cyanosis in the fetus and neonate, due to a defect in the fetal hemoglobin chain which has reduced affinity for oxygen. Some patients develop anemia resulting from increased destruction of red cells containing abnormal or unstable hemoglobin. The cyanosis resolves spontaneously by 5 to 6 months of age or earlier, as the adult beta-globin chain is produced and replaces the fetal gamma- globin chain. Belongs to the globin family.

Product Notes
The Fish HB-AGE hbg2 (Catalog #AAA009525) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA009525 ELISA Kit recognizes Fish HB-AGE. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Hemoglobin-Advanced Glycosylation End Products, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
