Hemovanadin

Hemovanadin is a pale green vanabin protein found in the blood cells, called vanadocytes, of ascidians (sea squirts) and other organisms (particularly sea organisms).

[2][3] The German chemist Martin Henze first detected vanadium in ascidians (sea squirts) in 1911.

[4][5] Unlike hemocyanin and hemoglobin, hemovanadin is not an oxygen carrier.
