Carbaminohemoglobin
Carbaminohemoglobin (carbaminohaemoglobin BrE) (CO2Hb, also known as carbheamoglobin and carbohemoglobin) is a compound of hemoglobin and carbon dioxide, and is one of the forms in which carbon dioxide exists in the blood. In blood, 23% of carbon dioxide is carried this way, while 70% is converted into bicarbonate by carbonic anhydrase and then carried in plasma, and 7% carried as free CO2, dissolved in plasma.
The structure of carbaminohemoglobin can be described as the binding of carbon dioxide to the amino groups of the globin chains of hemoglobin. This occurs at the N-terminals of the globin chains and at the amino sidebranches of arginine and lysine residues. The process of carbon dioxide binding to hemoglobin is generally known as carbamino formation. This is the source from where the protein gets its name, as it is a combination of carbamino and hemoglobin.
One of the primary functions of carbaminohemoglobin is to enable the transport of carbon dioxide in the bloodstream. When carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product of cellular metabolism in tissues, the compound is diffused into the bloodstream and it works to react with hemoglobin.
When the binding of molecules occurs to form carbaminohemoglobin, it allows for the transport of carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs. Once it is in the lungs, carbon dioxide is released from carbaminohemoglobin and can be let out from the body during the exhalation process. This complete process is very important for maintaining the balance of gases in the blood and to ensure that gas exchange is being transported between tissues and organs.
Carbaminohemoglobin interacts with carbon dioxide in the respiratory gas exchange process. The interaction involves the binding of carbon dioxide to hemoglobin. Carbon dioxide binds to the protein chains of hemoglobin. The ability of hemoglobin to bind to both oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules is what makes it an important protein to the respiratory system in respiratory gas exchange.
The interactions between carbon dioxide and hemoglobin helps in the transport of carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs for elimination. When carbon dioxide is transported from the tissues, it is produced as a waste product of cellular metabolism. Most importantly, the binding of carbon dioxide to hemoglobin helps buffer blood pH by preventing carbonic acid from decreasing the pH.
Although, the carbaminohemoglobin protein interacts with another protein (like hemoglobin) found in red blood cells, this interaction only takes place in the bloodstream and its products can be expelled. Carbaminohemoglobin does not interact with DNA because DNA is in the nucleus.
The formation and dissociation of the protein carbaminohemoglobin are controlled by many factors to guarantee the transport of carbon dioxide to the blood stream. A list of regulatory factors are listed below:
