MeSH Heading: beta-Globins
Tree Number(s): D12.776.124.400.434.325; D12.776.422.316.762.403.325
Unique ID: D055544
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D055544
Scope Note: Members of the beta-globin family. In humans, they are encoded in a gene cluster on CHROMOSOME 11. They include epsilon-globin, gamma-globin, delta-globin and beta-globin. There is also a pseudogene of beta (theta-beta) in the gene cluster. Adult HEMOGLOBIN is comprised of two ALPHA-GLOBIN chains and two beta-globin chains.
Entry Term(s): Non-alpha Globin Chain, Unspecified; beta-Globin
