Hemoglobin Gower 1, the structure of which is thought to be epsilon(4), is the predominant hemoglobin in early human embryonic life. This finding suggests that the production of (epsilon)-chains initially exceeds that of other known (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta) chains.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
