Is hemoglobin an enzyme or a hormone?
Hemoglobin is neither an enzyme nor a hormone. Hemoglobin is a protein that carries oxygen and the one that is responsible for the red color of the blood. An enzyme is also a protein that accelerate chemical reactions in the body and a hormone is a protein that regulate body functions. Therefore, hemoglobin is just a protein in the body just like enzymes and hormones.
What protein do blood cells use to carry oxygen?
