High-Yield Terms
Heme: is formed when iron is inserted into the chemical compound protoporphyrin
Hemin: normal heme contains iron in the ferrous oxidation state (Fe2+), whereas hemin contains iron in the ferric oxidation state (Fe3+)
Methemoglobin: the form of the hemoglobin protein that contains ferric iron (Fe3+) in the heme prosthetic groups due to oxidation
Hemoglobinopathy: any disease resulting from either (or both) quantitative or qualitative defects in α-globin or β-globin proteins
Thalassemia: specifically refers to quantitative hemoglobinopathies due to either α-globin or β-globin protein defects
Sickle cell anemia: most commonly occurring qualitative hemoglobinopathy, results from a single amino acid substitution in the adult β-globin gene
Cooley anemia: is thalassemia major, which is either β0− and β+-thalassemia
