Function
Involved in oxygen transport from the lung to the various peripheral tissues. Hemopressin. Hemopressin acts as an antagonist peptide of the cannabinoid receptor CNR1 (PubMed:18077343). Hemopressin-binding efficiently blocks cannabinoid receptor CNR1 and subsequent signaling (PubMed:18077343).

Notes
Hemoglobin Assay Kit (ab272533) is a simple, direct and automation-ready procedure for measuring hemoglobin concentration. This assay is based on an improved Triton/NaOH method, in which the hemoglobin is converted into a uniform colored end product. The intensity of color, measured at 400 nm, is directly proportional to hemoglobin concentration in the sample. The optimized formulation exhibits high sensitivity and substantially reduces interference by substances in the raw samples.
Sensitive and accurate: Linear detection range 0.9 – 200 mg/dL hemoglobin in 96-well plate assay.
Simple and high-throughput: The "mix-and-read" procedure involves addition of a single working reagent and reading the optical density. Can be readily automated as a high-throughput assay in 96-well plates for thousands of samples per day.
Safety: Reagents are non-toxic.
Versatility: Assays can be executed in 96-well plate or cuvet.

- Activity summary
Hemoglobin also known as Hb or HBB is a protein found in red blood cells. It is a tetramer with a molecular mass of approximately 64.5 kDa composed of two alpha and two beta subunits. This protein is predominantly expressed in erythrocytes where it plays an important role in oxygen transport from the lungs to tissues and facilitates the return of carbon dioxide from tissues to the lungs for exhalation.
- Biological function summary
Hemoglobin carries oxygen in blood and acts as a buffer in maintaining blood pH. Within the erythrocytes hemoglobin comprises one of the principal components of these cells each molecule binding up to four oxygen molecules. Hemoglobin exists as a complex with heme groups that directly interact with oxygen allowing hemoglobin to perform its respiratory function efficiently.
- Pathways
Hemoglobin is important in the circulatory and respiratory pathways. It works in conjunction with proteins like myoglobin which assists with oxygen storage in muscles and cytochrome c which is important in the electron transport chain. Hemoglobin's function aligns with these pathways to maintain proper oxygen and energy levels throughout the body.
- Associated diseases and disorders
Hemoglobin abnormalities lead to conditions such as sickle cell anemia and thalassemia. Sickle cell anemia involves a mutation in the beta-globin gene resulting in deformed red blood cells that hinder oxygen delivery and cause pain due to blockages in blood vessels. Thalassemia results from reduced production of globin chains leading to anemia. These conditions involve aberrations in the hemoglobin or related proteins impacting overall health and requiring clinical management.
