Product Specific Information

PA1-9527 detects Hemoglobin alpha in human samples.

PA1-9527 has been successfully used in Western blot and ELISA procedures. By Western blot, PA1-9527 detects a 15 kDa protein representing Hemoglobin alpha.

PA1-9527 immunogen is a synthetic peptide based on the human hemoglobin alpha protein.

Target Information

The human alpha globin gene cluster located on chromosome 16 spans about 30 kb and includes seven loci: 5- zeta - pseudozeta - mu - pseudoalpha-1 - alpha-2 - alpha-1 - theta - 3. The alpha-2 (HBA2) and alpha-1 (HBA1) coding sequences are identical. These genes differ slightly over the 5untranslated regions and the introns, but they differ significantly over the 3 untranslated regions. Two alpha chains plus two beta chains constitute HbA, which in normal adult life comprises about 97% of the total hemoglobin; alpha chains combine with delta chains to constitute HbA-2, which with HbF (fetal hemoglobin) makes up the remaining 3% of adult hemoglobin. Alpha thalassemias result from deletions of each of the alpha genes as well as deletions of both HBA2 and HBA1; some nondeletion alpha thalassemias have also been reported.
