#hemoprotein__haemoprotein a conjugated protein linked to an iron-porphyrin compound
supertype: #conjugated_protein__compound_protein a protein complex combining amino acids with other substances
subtype: #hemoglobin__haemoglobin__Hb a hemoprotein composed of globin and heme that gives red blood cells their characteristic color; function primarily to transport oxygen from the lungs to the body tissues; "fish have simpler hemoglobin than mammals"
subtype: #oxyhemoglobin__oxyhaemoglobin the bright red hemoglobin that is a combination of hemoglobin and oxygen from the lungs; "oxyhemoglobin transports oxygen to the cells of the body"
subtype: #myoglobin a hemoprotein that receives oxygen from hemoglobin and stores it in the tissues until needed
subtype: #cytochrome a class of hemoprotein whose principle biological function is as carriers of electrons
subtype: #cytochrome_c the most abundant and stable cytochrome; involved in energy transfer
