| UniProt functional annotation for P02070 | |||
| UniProt code: P02070. |
| Organism: | Bos taurus (Bovine). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Laurasiatheria; Artiodactyla; Ruminantia; Pecora; Bovidae; Bovinae; Bos. | |
| Function: | Involved in oxygen transport from the lung to the various peripheral tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8343155}. | |
| Function: | [Spinorphin]: functions as an endogenous inhibitor of enkephalin-degrading enzymes such as DPP3, and may thereby play a role as a regulator of pain and inflammation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8343155}. | |
| Subunit: | Heterotetramer of two alpha chains and two beta chains. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Red blood cells. | |
| Polymorphism: | Four allelic beta chains have been found in bovine hemoglobins. A and B alleles were found in Jersey cattle and C and D alleles were found in Angoni cattle (East African short-horn zebu). The sequence shown is that of the allele A. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:4561255, ECO:0000269|PubMed:6048711, ECO:0000269|PubMed:6322113}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the globin family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00238}. | |
