Studies on hemoglobin variants in Korean cattle. 1976

S K Han, and S Suzuki

814 hemoglobin samples from Korean cattle were investigated by starch gel electrophoresis for the detection of hemoglobin variants. A new variant of cattle hemoglobin, called Hb, H, was recognized. It has a slower rate of migration than Hb A. Hemoglobin types from 814 Korean cattle were as follows: 652 of Hb AA type (80.1%), 133 of Hb AB (16.4%), 12 of Hb AC (1.5%), 9 of Hb BB (1.1%), 2 of Hb BC (0.2%), 4 of Hb AH (O.5%), 1 of Hb CH (0.1%), 1 of Hb HH (O.1%). These figures correspond to the frequencies: HbA = 0.893, HbB = 0.093, HbC = 0.009, HbH = 0.004.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007723	Korea	Former kingdom, located on Korea Peninsula between Sea of Japan and Yellow Sea on east coast of Asia. In 1948, the kingdom ceased and two independent countries were formed, divided by the 38th parallel.
D011110	Polymorphism, Genetic	The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level.

D006454	Hemoglobins	The oxygen-carrying proteins of ERYTHROCYTES. They are found in all vertebrates and some invertebrates. The number of globin subunits in the hemoglobin quaternary structure differs between species. Structures range from monomeric to a variety of multimeric arrangements.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
