KROK 1 2018 – Question 8 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
In the process of hemoglobin catabolism iron is released and then as a part of special transport protein is returned to the bone marrow, to be used again for hemoglobin synthesis. Name this transport protein:
- A. Transcobalamin
- B. Albumin
- C. Transferrin
- D. Haptoglobin
- E. Ceruloplasmin
Hint
Think about how iron travels safely in the blood after it is released from heme, and which protein is dedicated to that task.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
