血綠素

(重定向自血绿蛋白

血綠素Chlorocruorin)是一種存在於多種環節動物(特別是多個多毛綱物種,例如龍介蟲科血液血漿裡的帶氧蛋白[1][2][3],負責為身體組織攜帶氧氣。這種血綠素與氧氣結合的親和力較大多數的血紅蛋白為低,但與一氧化碳結合的親和力,是人血內的血紅素的570倍[4]

Chlorocruorin.

血綠素是一種(雙色英语dichromatism)化合物,其顏色隨含氧量而變:脫氧時呈綠色,但帶氧時呈紅色;在濃度低的溶液呈綠色、濃度高時變淺紅色[5][6][7]

血綠素是一個巨大分子,但不存在於紅血球內,而是自由地在血漿內漂浮[8][9]。其結構跟無脊椎動物血紅蛋白英语erythrocruorin非常相像;而無脊椎動物血紅蛋白的結構又跟肌紅蛋白(myoglobin)只有幾個subunits的差異。它本身由多組16-17kDa的類肌紅蛋白單元排列,形成一個有超過一百個單元的巨型複雜構造,蛋白間有互連,總重量超過3600kDa。The only significant difference between chlorocruorin and erythrocruorin is that chlorocruorin carries an abnormal heme group structure[8]
