A

Abnormal hemoglobin occur in some case of alpha thalassemia. Composed of 4 beta globin chain produced in response to severe shortage of alpha chain

Q

One of most common beta chain hemoglobin variant in the world. People who have homozygous for Hb E have 2 copies of (beta epsilon) generally have mild hemolytic anemia, microcytic red blood cells and large enlargement of spleen. Single copy of hemoglobin E does not cause symptoms unless it is combined with another mutation, such as 1 for beta thalassemia trait.

A

Hemoglobin E (Egal)

Q

Results from binding of carbon monoxide to heme iron. Hb can combine with carbon monoxide with affinity 200 times greater than Oxygen.
Carbon monoxide termed as silent killer for its colorless gas, odor and patient becomes easily hypoxic.

Q

(FAG) major hemoglobin of fetus and newborns. Compose of 2 alpha 2 gamma. Produce 4 months after conception.

A

Fetal hemoglobin

17
Q

Synthesis of globin

A

occurs in ribosomes using messenger RNA that is translated into polypeptide chain. Synthesis of globin is controlled in the chromosomes of alpha and beta.

18
Q

Normal adult hemoglobin. 95 to 97% of hemoglobin in normal adults produced after 1 year onwards. Composed of 2 alpha (141 AA) and 2 beta chain (146 AA)

A

Hemoglobin A or A1

19
Q

1 heme

A

1 mole of oxygen

20
Q

1 hbg

A

4 moles of oxygen

21
Q

1 gram of hemoglobin

A

Carry 1.34 of oxygen

22
Q

Heme synthesis

A

Produce complete heme, 8 steps involved 4 enzymes in mitochondria and 4 enzyme in cytoplasm

23
Q

Heme

A

Occurs in mitochondria and cytoplasm of bone marrow

24
Q

Sulfhemoglobin

A

Form by irreversible oxidation of Hb of certain drugs and chemical.
A. Sulfonamides
B. Phenacitin
C. Acetinalde
Form by addition of hydrogen sulfide to hgb has a greenish pigment.
If sulfhemoglobin reaches critical level in blood it imparts mauve lavender.
