Clone EPR3608 (ab174536) has been successfully conjugated by Abcam. This image was generated using Anti-Hemoglobin subunit alpha antibody [EPR3608] (Alexa Fluor® 647). Please refer to ab215919 for protocol details.

IHC image of Hemoglobin subunit alpha staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human placenta*.

The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6) in a Dako Pascal pressure cooker using the standard factory-set regime. Non-specific protein-protein interactions were then blocked in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100, 0.3M (w/v) glycine and 1% (w/v) BSA for 1h at room temperature.  The section was then incubated overnight at +4°C in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100 and 1% (w/v) BSA with ab215919 at 1/100 dilution (shown in red) and counterstained using ab195887, Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin (Alexa Fluor® 488), at 1/250 dilution (shown in green). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue). The section was then mounted using Fluoromount®.

Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated), customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, antibody concentrations and incubation times.

Supplementary information

Hemoglobin subunit alpha also known as alpha-globin is a component of the hemoglobin protein complex which plays an important role in oxygen transport within the blood. Alpha-globin has an approximate molecular weight of 15.1 kDa and is expressed highly in the red blood cells. It is part of the hemoglobin tetramer along with two beta subunits each one containing an iron-bound heme group. Variants of the alpha chain can be studied using hemoglobin peptides or denatured hemoglobin samples. Researchers can further analyze the alpha hemoglobin using methods like SDS-PAGE or alpha ELISA assays.
Biological function summary

Hemoglobin subunit alpha forms an important part of the hemoglobin complex facilitating the binding and release of oxygen molecules as blood circulates in the body. Alpha hemoglobin ensures efficient loading of oxygen in the lungs and unloading in tissues maintaining cellular respiration. The subunit plays a structural role as well stabilizing the hemoglobin tetramer for optimal function. Its ability to carry oxygen depends on the cooperative interaction between its alpha and beta globin counterparts.

Pathways

Hemoglobin subunit alpha operates predominantly within the oxygen transport pathway which is essential to meet the metabolic demands of cells. It also links to pathways involving iron metabolism given its coordination with heme groups. Alpha hemoglobin interacts cooperatively with proteins such as beta-globin to ensure efficient oxygen delivery. This interplay is highlighted when examining hemoglobin biosynthesis and breakdown pathways.

Alpha-globin is linked to conditions like alpha-thalassemia and sickle cell disease. These disorders result from mutations in the hemoglobin alpha or beta subunits leading to imbalanced globin production or abnormal hemoglobin structures. Alpha thalassemia is connected with unequal production of globin chains affecting hemoglobin stability while beta-globin mutations lead to sickle cell disease with altered oxygen delivery. Anti-hemoglobin antibodies might help in researching these conditions allowing a better understanding of molecular changes and potential therapeutic targets.
