RT   (Struthio camelus) and American rhea (Rhea americana). The different
RT   evolution of adult bird alpha A-, alpha D- and beta-chains.";
RL   Biol. Chem. Hoppe-Seyler 367:507-514(1986).
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 birds, 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}.
