Gene ontology ID
GO:0042540
Definition
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of hemoglobin, an oxygen carrying, conjugated protein containing four heme groups and globin; especially, the proteolytic cleavage of hemoglobin to yield free heme, peptides, and amino acids
Comment
Note that 'hydrolysis' is actually a reaction rather than a process. The synonym 'hemoglobin hydrolysis' was the text string associated with the secondary ID GO:0020029, which was retained because its definition did describe a process.
Synonyms
1. haemoglobin catabolic process
