Globinnoun

(protein) Any globular protein that incorporates a lang=en.

Globinnoun

(protein) One of several polypeptides that are the protein components of haemoglobin or myoglobin.

Globinnoun

a colorless protein obtained by removing heme from hemoglobin; the protein part of hemoglobin.

Globinnoun

a colorless protein obtained by removing heme from hemoglobin; the oxygen carrying compound in red blood cells

Globin

The globins are a superfamily of heme-containing globular proteins, involved in binding and/or transporting oxygen. These proteins all incorporate the globin fold, a series of eight alpha helical segments.

Globulinnoun

(protein) Any of a group of simple proteins, soluble in water only in the presence of salts, that are coagulated by heat; one of the two parts of haemoglobin.

Globulinnoun

An albuminous body, insoluble in water, but soluble in dilute solutions of salt. It is present in the red blood corpuscles united with hæmatin to form hæmoglobin. It is also found in the crystalline lens of the eye, and in blood serum, and is sometimes called crystallin. In the plural the word is applied to a group of proteid substances such as vitellin, myosin, fibrinogen, etc., all insoluble in water, but soluble in dilute salt solutions.

Globulinnoun

a family of proteins found in blood and milk and muscle and in plant seed

Globulin

The globulins are a family of globular proteins that have higher molecular weights than albumins and are insoluble in pure water but dissolve in dilute salt solutions. Some globulins are produced in the liver, while others are made by the immune system.
