These results support the concept of the existence of specific switches in the production, release and degradation of Hb present in Chironomus.doi:10.1002/jez.1402100210Kissu SchinHans LauferRalph M. ClarkJohn Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Journal of Experimental Zoology...
This process also produces one molecule of carbon monoxide for every molecule of heme degraded [4]; this is one of the few natural sources of carbon monoxide production in the human body, and is responsible for the normal blood levels of carbon monoxide even in people breathing pure air. ...
The effect of α-amino-/V-butyric acid (αABA) on fetal hemoglobin production in the adult was examined in vivo after being administered to normal and anemic baboons and in erythroid progenitor cell cultures. Infusion of αABA for five days resulted in four- to fivefold increases in the ...
Hemoglobin is contained within red blood cells and is essential for transporting oxygen around the body. Problems with hemoglobin production cause common diseases, such as anaemia, which comes from low levels of hemoglobin and is found in 25% of the world's population. "This new finding is crit...
1 These blood disorders are due to mutations in the β-globin locus that cause defective β-globin production and affect the formation of HbA. β-thalassemias are caused by more than 300 mutations in the HBB locus,2 leading to reduced (β+) or abolished (β0)β-globin expression. This ...
much erythropoietin (a type of hormone that stimulates the production of red blood cells). Hormones are natural chemicals produced by the body and released into the blood that have a specific effect on tissues in the body. High hemoglobin levels can be caused by polycythemia vera. Polycythemia...
HEMOGLOBIN Chemical Properties,Uses,Production Description Haemoglobin, the oxygen-transport protein in the red blood cells, is a tetramer and each of the four chains contains a haeme group. It is interesting to note that the four haeme groups in haemoglobin do not operate independently. The rele...
Hemoglobin develops incellsin thebone marrowthat become red blood cells. When red cells die, hemoglobin is broken up: iron issalvaged, transported to the bone marrow by proteins calledtransferrins, and used again in the production of new red blood cells; the remainder of the hemoglobin forms ...

4. Then the hBKLF expression level, proliferation ability, colony formation and hemoglobin production were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot, MTT method, methyl cellulose semisolid culture method and benzidine test respectively. 构建hBKLF正义及反义真核表达载体,转染K562细胞,经G418筛选4周,得到稳定...
