Catabolism of Heme

1. Erythrocytes have a lifespan of around 120 days before they are degraded by macrophages in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow. 2. Hemoglobin is cleaved into globin and heme proteins, which are further broken down. Globin is used to produce amino acids while heme is degraded to bilirubin. 3. Bilirubin is conjugated and excreted in bile or urine. Elevated bilirubin levels can cause jaundice.
