DEFINITION

A tetrameric complex of 2 molecules of hemoglobin subunit alpha (encoded by either the HBA1 or HBA2 gene) and 2 molecules of a hemoglobin subunit beta variant where the glutamic acid residue at position 7 has been replaced by valine.

DesignNote

This hemoglobin subunit beta variant is often reported in the literature as Glu6Val (E6V) but that numbering does not include the initiator methionine, which is post-translationally removed during hemoglobin synthesis.
