Descriptor leghemoglobina
Scope note: Hemoproteína semejante a la hemoglobina que captura oxígeno y que está presente en los nódulos fijadores de nitrógeno de las raíces de las plantas leguminosas. El pigmento rojo tiene aproximdamente 1/4 del peso molecular de la hemoglobina y se ha sugerido que actúa como catalizador de oxido-reducción en la fijación simbiótica del nitrógeno.
