Globin
Superfamily of oxygen-transporting globular proteins / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with globulin or globular protein.
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. Two prominent members include myoglobin and hemoglobin. Both of these proteins reversibly bind oxygen via a heme prosthetic group. They are widely distributed in many organisms.[2]
