EntrezGene summary for HBB:

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. Absence of beta chain causes

beta-zero-thalassemia. Reduced amounts of detectable beta globin causes beta-plus-thalassemia. The

order of the genes in the beta-globin cluster is 5'-epsilon -- gamma-G -- gamma-A -- delta --

beta--3'. [provided by RefSeq]

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: HBB_HUMAN, P68871

Function: LVV-hemorphin-7 potentiates the activity of bradykinin, causing a decrease in blood

pressure

Post-translational modifications:

Glucose reacts non-enzymatically with the N-terminus of the beta chain to form a stable ketoamine

linkage. This takes place slowly and continuously throughout the 120-day life span of the red

blood cell. The rate of glycation is increased in patients with diabetes mellitus¹

S-nitrosylated; a nitric oxide group is first bound to Fe(2+) and then transferred to Cys-94 to

allow capture of O(2)¹

Acetylated on Lys-60, Lys-83 and Lys-145 upon aspirin exposure. PubMed:16916647 reports the

identification of HBB acetylated on Lys-145 in the cytosolic fraction of HeLa cells. This may

results from a contamination of the sample¹

About This Section

OMIM: 141900

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: HBB_HUMAN, P68871

Defects in HBB may be a cause of Heinz body anemias [MIM:140700]. This is a form of

non-spherocytic hemolytic anemia of Dacie type 1. After splenectomy, which has little benefit,

basophilic inclusions called Heinz bodies are demonstrable in the erythrocytes. Before

splenectomy, diffuse or punctate basophilia may be evident. Most of these cases are probably

instances of hemoglobinopathy. The hemoglobin demonstrates heat lability. Heinz bodies are

observed also with the Ivemark syndrome (asplenia with cardiovascular anomalies) and with

glutathione peroxidase deficiency

Defects in HBB are the cause of beta-thalassemia [MIM:141900, 604131]. The thalassemias

are the most common monogenic diseases and occur mostly in Mediterranean and Southeast Asian

populations. The hallmark of beta-thalassemia is an imbalance in globin-chain production in the

adult HbA molecule. Absence of beta chain causes beta(0)-thalassemia, while reduced amounts of

detectable beta globin causes beta(+)-thalassemia. In the severe forms of beta-thalassemia, the

excess alpha globin chains accumulate in the developing erythroid precursors in the marrow. Their

deposition leads to a vast increase in erythroid apoptosis that in turn causes ineffective

erythropoiesis and severe microcytic hypochromic anemia. Clinically, beta-thalassemia is divided

into thalassemia major (transfusion dependent), thalassemia intermedia (of intermediate severity),

and thalassemia minor (asymptomatic)

Defects in HBB are the cause of sickle cell anemia [MIM:603903]; also known as sickle cell

disease. Sickle cell anemia is characterized by abnormally shaped red cells resulting in chronic

anemia and periodic episodes of pain, serious infections and damage to vital organs. Normal red

blood cells are round and flexible and flow easily through blood vessels, but in sickle cell

anemia, the abnormal hemoglobin (called Hb S) causes red blood cells to become stiff. They are

C-shaped and resembles a sickle. These stiffer red blood cells can led to microvascular occlusion

thus cutting off the blood supply to nearby tissues

Defects in HBB are the cause of dominant beta-thalassemia inclusion body type

[MIM:603902]. This form of beta-thalassemia is transmitted in an autosomal dominant fashion and is

characterized by anemia, enlargement of the spleen, and gross abnormalities of the erythrocytes

and their precursors
