WHAT DOES GLOBIN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

globin

Globin

The globins are a family of globular proteins, which are thought to share a common ancestor. These proteins all incorporate the globin fold, a series of eight alpha helical segments. Two prominent members of this family include myoglobin and hemoglobin, which both bind the heme prosthetic group. Both of these proteins are reversible oxygen binders. Globins are haem-containing proteins involved in binding and/or transporting oxygen. They belong to a very large and well studied family that is widely distributed in many organisms.

Definition of globin in the English dictionary

The definition of globin in the dictionary is the protein component of the pigments myoglobin and haemoglobin.
