What is hemogiobin?

Answer 1

Hemoglobin is a protein carried by red blood cells to pick up oxygen in the lungs and deliver it to the peripheral tissues and maintain the viability of cells. it is made from two similar proteins that "stick together". these proteins must both be present for the hemoglobin to pick up and release oxygen. One of the proteins is called alpha, the other beta. Before birth, the beta protein is not expressed. A hemoglobin protein found only during fetal development, called gamma, substitutes up until birth. HemogLobin is the part of red blood cells that picks up oxygen in the lungs and releases it in your muscles, or wherever else it is needed.
