white blood cells
Zinc is primarily transported in the blood by a protein carrier called albumin, while iron is typically transported by a protein called transferrin. These carriers help maintain the proper levels of these minerals in the blood and deliver them to the cells that need them.
No, albumin is not a major iron transport carrier in the blood. Transferrin is the major iron transport protein in the blood, responsible for binding and transporting iron throughout the body. Albumin primarily functions as a carrier for hormones, fatty acids, drugs, and other small molecules in the bloodstream.
Hemoglobin is a blood protein containing iron.
Hemoglobin is a blood protein containing iron.
Hemoglobin
Hemoglobin is the iron containing protein in our red blood cells that combines with and carries oxygen.
The oxygen carrier in most mammalian blood is iron - oxygenated iron is red. In the old TV show "Star Trek", Mr. Spock's Vulcan blood was green, because in Vulcan blood, the oxygen carrier was copper - and coppers oxides are green.
Active transport involves carrier proteins. Carrier proteins bind themselves to particles and transport them to highly concentrated areas within a cell.Facilitated diffusion and active transport require carrier proteins.
the carrier protein of Na-k pump is an ion carrier protein and the pump cannot be termed as the carrier protein its a biochemical phenomenon
Iron is an important part of hemoglobin, the protein that helps your blood carry oxygen.
Ferritin is a protein that functions to store iron in the body. Transferrin is a protein that transports iron in the blood.
