title: A new hemoglobin variant, Hb Mito [beta 144(HC 1) Lys----Glu], with increased oxygen affinity.
abstract: A new abnormal hemoglobin, Hb Mito [beta 144(HC 1) Lys----Glu], with an amino acid substitution in the 2,3-DPG pocket, was discovered in a Japanese female. This hemoglobin showed increased oxygen affinity, and decreased organic phosphate and Bohr effects, while the Hill constant n was normal.
