                                                            Endogenous peptide in human, mouse or rat
                                 
                                
                                    
                                        Comment: Beta globin (also referred to as HBB, β-globin, haemoglobin beta, hemoglobin beta, or preferably haemoglobin subunit beta) is a globin protein, which along with alpha globin (HBA), makes up the most common form of haemoglobin in adult humans, the haemoglobin A (HbA).
