Hb G-Szuhu beta80(EF4)Asn->Lys
         
ALSO KNOWN AS Gifu
CONTACT 2,3-DPG pocket
HEMATOLOGY Normal in the heterozygote and presumably also in the homozygote
ELECTROPHORESIS Hb X and Hb A separate at alkaline pH; Hb X moves like Hb S or slightly faster
CHROMATOGRAPHY Hb X was isolated by DEAE-Sephadex chromatography; Hb X and Hb A also separate by cation exchange HPLC
STRUCTURE STUDIES Tryptic digestion; separation of peptides by reversed phase HPLC or by fingerprinting; amino acid analysis
DNA ANALYSES Not reported; presumed mutation AAC->AAA or AAG at codon 80
FUNCTION STUDIES Normal
STABILITY Normal
OCCURRENCE Found in a Chinese family from Taiwan; a Jewish family of Turkish extraction; in members of an English family; a Spanish family, and a Sicilian family
