Hemoglobin subunit zeta (HBZ) is belongs to the globin family. Zeta-globin is alpha-like hemoglobin. The HBZ polypeptide is synthesized in the yolk sac of the early embryo, while alpha-globin is produced throughout fetal and adult life. The HBZ gene includes five functional genes and two pseudogenes. The order of genes is: 5-zeta-pseudozeta-mu-pseudoalpha-1-alpha-2 -alpha-1-theta1-3. Recombinant human HBZ fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in E. coli. Source: Recombinant corresponding to aa1-142 of human HBZ 6x His tagged expressed in E. coli.
