counting characters

Hi All,
I need some help in counting the number of letters in a big file with separations.

Following is the file I have

Code:
>AB_1

ERLADSDLTLKSLAQQLGFSPNYLSVLIKKELGMPFQDYLVQERLKKAKLFLLTSNLKIYEIAEQVGFED
MNYFSQRFKQLVGVTPSQYKKGGQA

Likewise it goes down.

I would like to count the number of alphabeths each subsections have (subsections are separated with the header starting with >).

It would be great if I could get an tab delimited output file in the following format:
AB_1 number of alphabets
AB_2 number of alphabets
AB_3 number of alphabets

I don't want to count the letters on the header.

Also it would be great if we could omit the ">" on the output file.

Please let me know the best way to do it using awk or sed
