Best Answer

No (I just noticed this reply to my question). I don't think 'no' really answers it as I know that SOME herbivores definitely do. My question really should have said 'Do ALL herbivores have heme receptors'? A simple no does not give any information. Humans have them for starters and physiologically and anatomically we are herbivores.

Is heme and hemoglobin the same?

Heme + globin is Hemoglobin.


After hemoglobin is broken down into heme and globin what ultimately happens to the heme?

Heme is decomposed into iron and biliverdin


What is the breakdown product of heme?

The breakdown product of heme is bilirubin. Bilirubin is produced when heme is broken down in the liver as a part of the normal process of recycling heme from old red blood cells.


Do mussels contain heme iron?

Heme iron comes from animal sources, while non-heme iron comes from plant sources, so I believe that because mussels are animals, mussels therefore do contain heme iron. Fish also contains heme iron.


What is an example of the control of heme biosynthesis?

When heme levels are low, more delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) synthase are produced. Causing larger quantities of heme precursors to be fed into the biosynthesis path producing more heme.


Heme synthesis in our body?

Heme synthesis occurs in the liver and bone marrow and involves a series of enzymatic reactions that convert succinyl-CoA and glycine to heme. Heme is a component of hemoglobin, necessary for red blood cell function and oxygen transport in the body. Deficiencies in heme synthesis can lead to diseases such as porphyrias.


What is the heme protein database?

The Heme protein database refers to the protein sequence databases.


What is heme biosynthesis?

Much of the heme biosynthesis pathway is dedicated to constructing the porphyrin molecule.


What is the difference between heme iron and nonheme iron supplements?

Heme iron is more efficiently absorbed by the body, but non-heme iron can also be effective if used in conjunction with vitamin C and other dietary sources of heme iron.


How many molecules of oxygen can heme transport?

4 molecules of oxygen - one to each subunit on the heme


Is Heme iron absorbed better than nonheme iron?

Yes, heme iron, which is found in animal sources, is more efficiently absorbed by the body compared to nonheme iron, found in plant sources. This is because heme iron does not require the assistance of other nutrients for absorption and is readily absorbed in the small intestine.


What are the uses of heme?

Heme is a ferrous ion prosthetic group (Fe2+) present in metalloproteins or specifically Hemoproteins such as Hemoglobin, porphyrin. heme is also found in proteins such as myoglobin, catalase, cytochromes. In these proteins Heme either participates in the catalysis or act as a stabilizer of active site amino acid.
