What is bilirubin?
Bilirubin is a pigment in bile created during the breakdown of haemoglobin, which is then excreted from the body in bile. It is bilirubin which gives people the characteristic yellow colour in jaundice (whether that be caused by liver failure, obstruction or an increased breakdown of haemoglobin).the liver
What waste product of normal breakdown of hemoglobin?
Bilirubin
What is the heme protein database?
The Heme protein database refers to the protein sequence databases.
What is the subunit of haemoglobin?
A subunit of haemoglobin is the Heme Group.
Bond present between the heme and globin?
Hydrogen bonds:)
Do your eyes change color when kidneys fail?
Yes, the whites of your eyes and your skin will have a yellowish color to them if your kidneys fail. This is known as jaundice, and the yellow color is from bilirubin, which is a breakdown product of heme (a principle part of red blood cells). Bilirubin is formed when the liver breaks down the heme. Heme is then normally removed by the kidneys and is passed by the urine, but if the kidneys are not functioning, the heme, along with other waste products, will make their way back into the bloodstream.
Which organ breaks down red blood cell?
The spleen breaks down old red blood cells. The contained hemoglobin is released, which is further broken to globin, a protein and heme, a porphyrin.The heme is converted to bilirubin, which moves from the spleen to the liver attached to albumin. (Both feces and urine get their color from the products of the breakdown of the heme.) The iron recycled from the breakdown of the heme group is stored in the liver.
What does non heme iron mean?
It's iron that is found in plants rather than animals. Animal product iron is called heme iron.
What is the breakdown product of glucose that diffused into the mitochondria matrix for further breakdown?
Pyruvic acid

Is heme and hemoglobin the same?
Heme + globin is Hemoglobin.
What is the sugar product of lactose breakdown?
Glucose and galactose
End product of hemoglobin breakdown is?
bilirubin
What waste product of normal breakdown of hemoglobin?
Bilirubin
What are the products of hemoglobin breakdown?
Hemoglobin molecules liberated from red blood cells are broken down into subunits of heme, an iron containing portion, and globin, a protein. The heme further decomposes into iron and a greenish pigment called biliverdin. Biliverdin eventually is converted to an orange pigment called bilirubin.
After hemoglobin is broken down into heme and globin what ultimately happens to the heme?
Heme is decomposed into iron and biliverdin
What is factor ck?
Creatine kinase is a breakdown product of muscle.
