Who Am I?
I am a protein that is carried by red cells. I pick up oxygen in the lungs and deliver it to the peripheral tissues to maintain the viability of cells. I am made from two similar proteins that "stick together". Both proteins must be present for me to pick up and release oxygen normally. One of the component proteins is called alpha, the other is beta. Before birth, the beta protein is not expressed. My protein is found only during fetal development, called gamma, substitutes up until birth. |
