During a survey of hemoglobin types in goats in the Republic of Malta a variant (Goat Hb D-Malta) was discovered which differs from normal goat Hb A by the substitution of an aspartyl residue in position beta 69 (E13) by a glycyl residue. The gene frequency of the beta D allele was 0.255; 29 homozygous Hb D goats were present among 327 animals sampled. Homozygous Hb D goats also produce Hb C, whose beta chains are the product of a non-allelic beta C structural gene. Goat Hb D-Malta has a distinctly decreased affinity for molecular oxygen.
在对马耳他共和国山羊血红蛋白类型的调查中,发现了一种变体(山羊血红蛋白D - 马耳他型),它与正常山羊血红蛋白A的不同之处在于,β链69位(E13)的天冬氨酰残基被甘氨酰残基取代。βD等位基因的基因频率为0.255;在327只采样动物中有29只纯合血红蛋白D山羊。纯合血红蛋白D山羊还产生血红蛋白C,其β链是非等位βC结构基因的产物。山羊血红蛋白D - 马耳他型对分子氧的亲和力明显降低。
