For 10 points, name this oxygen transport protein found in red blood cells.
Unlike in adults, in fetuses this molecule does not bind to 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, or DPG, due to its lack of beta subunits, and this molecule is subject to the Bohr effect and the Haldane effect. People with thalassemia produce an abnormal form of this protein which is broken down to produce biliverdin and bilirubin in succession, and this protein contains an iron atom in the center of each of its four porphyrin rings.
