haemoglobin
haemoglobin One of a group of globular proteins occurring widely in animals as oxygen carriers in blood. Vertebrate haemoglobin comprises two pairs of polypeptide chains, known as α-chains and β-chains (forming the
globin protein), with each chain folded to provide a binding site for a
haem group. Each of the four haem groups binds one oxygen molecule to form
oxyhaemoglobin. Dissociation occurs in oxygen-depleted tissues: oxygen is released and haemoglobin is reformed (see
Bohr effect;
haemoglobinic acid;
oxygen dissociation curve). The haem groups also bind other inorganic molecules, including carbon monoxide (to form
carboxyhaemoglobin). In vertebrates, haemoglobin is contained in the red blood cells (
erythrocytes).
