In adult humans, the most common hemoglobin type is a tetramer (which contains 4 subunit proteins) called hemoglobin A, consisting of two Î± and two Î² subunits non-covalently bound, each made of 141 and 146 amino acid residues, respectively. This is denoted as Î± 2 Î² 2.
hemoglobin (hÄËmÉglÅËbÄ­n) [ key ], respiratory protein found in the red blood cells (erythrocytes) of all vertebrates and some invertebrates. A hemoglobin molecule is composed of a protein group, known as globin, and four heme groups, each associated with an iron atom.In the lungs, each iron atom combines reversibly with a molecule of oxygen. Each hemoglobin molecule also has attached a single cysteine amino acid, which attracts nitric oxide from the lungs. hemoglobin molecule is composed of a protein group, known as globin, and four heme groups, each associated with an iron atom.
