Iron Metabolism and Heme Synthesis Model
Product Code : JC-BE-6085
The Iron Metabolism and Heme Synthesis Model (SKU JC-BE-6085) is an iron and heme metabolism model tracing how dietary iron is absorbed, carried by transferrin, stored as ferritin and then used to build heme. It connects biochemistry with haematology topics such as anaemia and is used in B.Sc biochemistry, medical laboratory technology and first-year medical and nursing courses. JaincoLab manufactures it in Ambala, India.
Specifications
The model is a biochemistry teaching model of iron absorption, transport and storage and of heme synthesis, covering transferrin, ferritin and the rate-limiting enzyme of the pathway; its dimensions, material and base are confirmed on the quotation.
