Background
Hemoglobin is a 66 kDa metalloprotein composed of four globular subunits each of which is associated with an iron-containing heme group. The heme group is involved with oxygen transport from the lungs to the tissues and the globin molecule plays a major role in transporting carbon dioxide in the reverse direction. Hemoglobin is found in the erythrocytes of all vertebrates. There is a wide diversity of amino acid sequences and substitutions within mammalian hemoglobins, however the molecular weight is generally around 66 kDa with an iron content of about 0.34 % . The level of hemoglobin in the blood is used in the diagnosis of anemia, levels in the feces are indicative of various clinical conditions. Mutations in the genes for the hemoglobin protein result in a group of hereditary diseases in humans termed hemoglobinopathies, and include sickle-cell disease and thalassemias.Synonyms: Haemoglobin
