Recycling Hemoglobin Big Picture

*Globin, a protein, is recycled to amino acids for reuse.

* Iron (FE3+) is carried by Transferrin to the liver where it is kept as Ferritin; if it is needed, it is carried by Transferrin to Red Bone Marrow for incorporation into new red blood cells.

*Heme (pigment) is converted to Bilirubin in the Liver where it assists with bile which helps with digestion in the small intestines.
