Hemoglobin Expression in Nonerythroid Cells: Novel or Ubiquitous?
1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
Hemoglobin (Hb) is a major protein involved in transport of oxygen (O2). Red blood cells (RBCs) contain maximum amount of Hb and because of their unique structure and plasticity they transport O2 to various tissues of the body at an optimal concentration.
