  2. Hemoglobin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin

    The molecule also carries the important regulatory molecule nitric oxide bound to a thiol group in the globin protein, releasing it at the same time as oxygen. [10] Hemoglobin is also found in other cells, including in the A9 dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra, macrophages, alveolar cells, lungs, retinal pigment epithelium ...

  3. Heme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heme

    Heme D is the site for oxygen reduction to water of many types of bacteria at low oxygen tension. [24] Heme S is related to heme B by having a formyl group at position 2 in place of the 2-vinyl group. Heme S is found in the hemoglobin of a few species of marine worms.

  4. Iron-binding proteins - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron-binding_proteins

    Hemoglobin has a lower oxygen affinity at low pH. This allows for rapid dissociation as oxygenated hemoglobin is transported to cells throughout the body. Because of the CO 2 production and aqueous formation of carbonic acid in respiring cells, oxygenated hemoglobin dissociates in order to deliver the necessary oxygen to the cells. [9 ...

  5. Iron in biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_in_biology

    The human body's rate of iron absorption appears to respond to a variety of interdependent factors, including total iron stores, the extent to which the bone marrow is producing new red blood cells, the concentration of hemoglobin in the blood, and the oxygen content of the blood.

  6. Hemoglobin A - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin_A

    Hemoglobin A (HbA), also known as adult hemoglobin, hemoglobin A1 or α 2 β 2, is the most common human hemoglobin tetramer, accounting for over 97% of the total red blood cell hemoglobin. [1] Hemoglobin is an oxygen-binding protein, found in erythrocytes , which transports oxygen from the lungs to the tissues. [ 2 ]

  7. Human iron metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_iron_metabolism

    The human body's rate of iron absorption appears to respond to a variety of interdependent factors, including total iron stores, the extent to which the bone marrow is producing new red blood cells, the concentration of hemoglobin in the blood, and the oxygen content of the blood. The body also absorbs less iron during times of inflammation, in ...

    A FedEx contract worker has been busted for allegedly dumping dozens of packages in the woods to avoid working late. Latavion Lewis was arrested after a post office in Bonifay, Florida, received ...

  9. Hemoprotein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoprotein

    Hemoglobin and myoglobin are examples of hemeproteins that respectively transport and store of oxygen in mammals and in some fish. [9] Hemoglobin is a quaternary protein that occurs in the red blood cell, whereas, myoglobin is a tertiary protein found in the muscle cells of mammals. Although they might differ in location and size, their ...
