WHAT DOES CHLOROCRUORIN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Chlorocruorin

Chlorocruorin is an oxygen-binding hemeprotein present in the blood plasma of many annelids, particularly certain marine polychaetes. Its affinity for oxygen is weaker than that of most haemoglobins. A dichromatic compound, chlorocruorin is noted for appearing green in dilute solutions, though it appears light red when found in concentrated solutions. Its structure is very similar to erythrocruorin and it contains many 16-17kDa myoglobin-like subunits arranged in a giant complex of over a hundred subunits with interlinking proteins as well with a total weight exceeding 3600kDa. The only significant difference between chlorocruorin and erythrocruorin is that chlorocruorin carries an abnormal heme group structure. This enormous macromolecule is typically found free floating in the plasma, and not contained within red blood cells.

Definition of chlorocruorin in the English dictionary

The definition of chlorocruorin in the dictionary is an oxygen-carrying substance that is found in the tissues of members of the division Annelida that is green in colour when oxygen is not present.
