Hb Poitiers alpha45(CE3)His->Asp
         
CONTACT External; heme contact
HEMATOLOGY Normal in the heterozygote
ELECTROPHORESIS Hb X separates from Hb A as a fast-moving band at alkaline pH; no separation at acidic pH; IEF is an excellent procedure to identify Hb X
CHROMATOGRAPHY Hb X was isolated by DEAE-Sephadex chromatography
STRUCTURE STUDIES Tryptic digestion of alphaA chain; separation of tryptic peptides by reversed phase HPLC; amino acid analysis; sequencing of the alphaT-6 peptide
DNA ANALYSES Not reported; presumed mutation CAC->AAC; alpha2 or alpha1
FUNCTIONAL STUDIES Increased oxygen affinity and autoxidation
STABILITY Normal
OCCURRENCE Found in three members of a French family
OTHER INFORMATION Quantity in the heterozygote was ~27%
