French translation of
haemocyanin
is
hémocyanine
Meaning of "haemocyanin" in English
Haemocyanin is a copper-containing protein found in the blood of certain invertebrates, such as mollusks and arthropods, which serves the function of transporting oxygen. Unlike hemoglobin, which contains iron and is common in vertebrates, haemocyanin gives these creatures' blood a blue color when oxygenated due to its interaction with copper ions. This protein plays a crucial role in the respiration process by binding and releasing oxygen as needed, enabling these organisms to thrive in a variety of environments.
Meaning of "hémocyanine" in French
Hémocyanine est une protéine contenant du cuivre présente dans le sang de certains invertébrés comme les mollusques et les arthropodes, qui sert à transporter l'oxygène. Contrairement à l'hémoglobine, qui contient du fer et est courante chez les vertébrés, l'hémocyanine donne au sang de ces créatures une couleur bleue lorsqu'il est oxygéné en raison de son interaction avec les ions cuivre. Cette protéine joue un rôle crucial dans le processus de respiration en liant et relâchant l'oxygène selon les besoins, permettant à ces organismes de prospérer dans divers environnements.
