hemoglobins
Oxygen-transporting blood proteins
Hemoglobins is the plural of hemoglobin, the iron-containing protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to body tissues and returns carbon dioxide.
The plural appears in scientific contexts discussing different types or variants: Researchers studied fetal and adult hemoglobins to understand oxygen-binding differences.
Spelled haemoglobins in British English.
