Hemocyanin(Cat No.:I041258)is a copper-containing protein found in the blood of various arthropods and mollusks, acting as an oxygen carrier similar to hemoglobin in vertebrates. It binds oxygen through its copper atoms, forming a blue-colored complex when oxygenated. Hemocyanin is involved in transporting oxygen to tissues and is important for the respiration of many invertebrates, particularly in marine environments. Unlike hemoglobin, which uses iron, hemocyanin’s copper-based structure is more prevalent in cold-blooded animals. Due to its unique properties, hemocyanin has been studied for its potential applications in biotechnology and medical research.
