Hemoglobin Subunit Theta-1 (HBQ1) Antibody, Abbexa, abx027138

Theta-globin mRNA is found in human fetal erythroid tissue but not in adult erythroid or other nonerythroid tissue. The theta-1 gene may be expressed very early in embryonic life, perhaps sometime before 5 weeks. Theta-1 is a member of the human alpha-globin gene cluster that involves five functional genes and two pseudogenes. The order of genes is: 5' zeta pseudozeta mu pseudoalpha-2 pseudoalpha-1 alpha-2 alpha-1 theta-1 3'. Research supports a transcriptionally active role for the gene and a functional role for the peptide in specific cells, possibly those of early erythroid tissue.
