Erythropoiesis is the biological process that consumes the highest amount of body iron for
heme synthesis. Heme synthesis in erythroid cells is finely coordinated with that of alpha (α) …

Heme is a prosthetic group comprising ferrous iron (Fe2+) and protoporphyrin IX and is an
essential cofactor in various biological processes such as oxygen transport (hemoglobin) …

Heme, which is composed of iron and the small organic molecule protoporphyrin, is an
essential component of hemoglobin as well as a variety of physiologically important …

▪ Abstract Erythropoiesis is the process in which new erythrocytes are produced. These new
erythrocytes replace the oldest erythrocytes (normally about one percent) that are …

Hemoglobin is an oxygen-binding protein found in erythrocytes that transports oxygen from
the lungs to tissues. Each hemoglobin molecule is a tetramer made of four polypeptide …

Heme is a complex of iron with protoporphyrin IX that is essential for the function of all
aerobic cells. Heme serves as the prosthetic group of numerous hemoproteins (eg …

Heme is required for survival of all cells, and in most eukaryotes, is produced through a
series of eight enzymatic reactions. Although heme production is critical for many cellular …

Heme is a porphyrin ring complexed with ferrous iron and protoporphyrin IX. Heme is an
essential prosthetic group in proteins that is necessary as a subcellular compartment to …

Hemoglobinopathies and other disorders of erythroid cells are often associated with
abnormal iron homeostasis. We review the molecular physiology of intracellular and …
