RL   Submitted (SEP-2000) to the EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ databases.
CC   -!- FUNCTION: Involved in oxygen transport from the lung to the various
CC       peripheral tissues.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Heterotetramer of two alpha-D chains and two beta chains.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Red blood cells.
CC   -!- DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: In reptiles, the alpha-D chain occurs in a minor
CC       hemoglobin component, called hemoglobin d, which is expressed in late
CC       embryonic and adult life.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the globin family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-
CC       ProRule:PRU00238}.
