Carbaminohemoglobin

[2] The structure of carbaminohemoglobin can be described as the binding of carbon dioxide to the amino groups of the globin chains of hemoglobin.

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.

[5] When the binding of molecules occurs to form carbaminohemoglobin, it allows for the transport of carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs.

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.

[7] The formation and dissociation of the protein carbaminohemoglobin are controlled by many factors to guarantee the transport of carbon dioxide to the blood stream.

[6] When carbon dioxide diffuses as a dissolved gas from the tissue capillaries, it binds to the α-amino terminus of the globulin chain, forming Carbaminohemoglobin.

Deoxyhemoglobin in turn subsequently increases the uptake of carbon dioxide in the form of favouring the formation of Bicarbonate as well as Carbaminohemoglobin through the Haldane effect.

[14] A way that carbaminohemoglobin can be associated with disease is when there is a change in its level caused by a pre-existing condition or imbalance in the respiratory and metabolic systems of the human body.
