Hb J-Antakya	beta65(E9)Lys->Met

NOTE:		This variant was erroneously identified as beta127(H5)Gln->Glu (Altay, C., Altinoz, N., Wilson, J.B., Bolch, K.C., and Huisman, T.H.J.: Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 434:1, 1976); a variant with this substitution has been observed in a Spanish family and is known as Hb Complutense
CONTACT		External
HEMATOLOGY		Normal in the heterozygote
ELECTROPHORESIS		Hb X and Hb A separate at alkaline pH (Hb X is faster than Hb A); no separation at acidic pH
CHROMATOGRAPHY		Hb X and Hb A can be separated by cation and anion exchange chromatography
STRUCTURE STUDIES		Tryptic digestion of betaX chain; separation of peptides by reversed phase HPLC; amino acid analysis; sequencing
DNA ANALYSES		Not reported; presumed mutation AAG->ATG at codon 65
FUNCTION STUDIES		Not observed
STABILITY		Normal
OCCURRENCE		Found in members of a family from Southern Turkey
OTHER INFORMATION		Quantity in the heterozygote 41%
