CCAPD: Hemoglobin V/Alpha

• General information on group:
  • Abbreviation: Hemoglobin_Alpha
  • Number of species: 42
  • Number of clusters: 4
  • Number of entries (sequences): 144
  • Other information: Hemoglobin is found in a tetramer of 2 alpha and 2 beta chains in most vertebrates. It is found simultaneously in multiple types (isohemoglobins) in fish, and in jawless fish (e.g., lampreys) has a variable degree of association, sometimes being monomeric and when multimerized not resembling the alpha/beta interface. Lamprey (and hagfish) globin appears to have been descended from a common ancestor of alpha and beta globins. Hemoglobin V, as identified by sequence similarity, is the most common component in two different lamprey species, Petromyzon marinus and Lampetra fluviatilis.
