MeSH definition : Members of the beta-globin family. In humans, two non-allelic types of gamma-globin
- A gamma and G gamma are encoded in the beta-globin gene cluster on CHROMOSOME 11.
Two gamma-globin chains combine with two ZETA-GLOBIN chains to form the embryonic
hemoglobin Portland. Fetal HEMOGLOBIN F is formed from two gamma-globin chains combined
with two ALPHA-GLOBIN chains.;
