Carboxyhemoglobin (C0007061)

Definition (NCI) Hemoglobin where the heme group has formed a stable complex with carbon monoxide (CO). This complex is produced after CO has been inhaled or as a byproduct of hemoglobin, protoporphyrin or dichloromethane catabolism. The heme-CO complex is approximately 200 times more stable than heme-oxygen complexes. Thus, high levels of carboxyhemoglobin in the circulation can lead to tissue hypoxia and death.
Definition (CSP) hemoglobin in which the sites usually bound to oxygen are bound to carbon monoxide.
