Also known as:

Comments: The alpha 118 residue has a key role for the interaction of the alpha globin chain with the chaperone protein AHSP. This interaction prevents the alpha chain from premature degradation. In Hb Cervantes, its hyper-unstability is due to a decreased affinity for AHSP.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
