Haemoglobin is a type of globular protein present in red blood cells (RBCs), which transports oxygen in our body through blood. It is a tetrameric protein and contains the heme prosthetic group attached to each subunit. It is a respiratory pigment and helps in transporting oxygen as oxyhaemoglobin from the lungs to different parts of the body. Some amount of carbon dioxide is also transported back via haemoglobin as carbaminohaemoglobin.
Other oxygen binding proteins are myoglobin in muscles, haemocyanin in arthropods and molluscs, leghaemoglobin in legumes, etc.
