Term Information

Accession
GO:0042540
Name
hemoglobin catabolic process
Ontology
biological_process
Synonyms
haemoglobin catabolic process, haemoglobin catabolism, hemoglobin breakdown, hemoglobin catabolism, hemoglobin degradation, haemoglobin hydrolysis, hemoglobin hydrolysis
Alternate IDs
GO:0020029
Definition
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of hemoglobin, an oxygen carrying, conjugated protein containing four heme groups and globin; especially, the proteolytic cleavage of hemoglobin to yield free heme, peptides, and amino acids. Source: GOC:jl, GOC:mb
Comment
Note that 'hydrolysis' is actually a reaction rather than a process. The synonym 'hemoglobin hydrolysis' was the text string associated with the secondary ID GO:0020029, which was retained because its definition did describe a process.
