Heme crystallization in the midgut of triatomine insects [PDF]
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Toxicology & Pharmacology, 2007 Hemozoin (Hz) is a heme crystal produced by several blood-feeding organisms in order to detoxify free heme released upon hemoglobin (Hb) digestion. Here we show that heme crystallization also occurs in three species of triatomine insects. Ultraviolet-visible and infrared light absorption spectra of insoluble pigments isolated from the midgut of three ...
