Globins are a related family of proteins, which are thought to share a common ancestor. These proteins all incorporate the globin fold, a series of eight alpha helical segments. Two prominent members of this family include Myoglobin and Hemoglobin, which both bind the Haem (also heme) prosthetic group. Both these proteins are reversible oxygen binders.
