Trace Elements and Iron in Human Metabolism

Part of the book series: Topics in Hematology ((TOHE))

Abstract

The presence of copper in plant and animal tissues was first recognized almost 150 years ago (Bucholz, 1818; Boutigny, 1833). In 1847, copper was shown to be present in the blood proteins of snails (Harless, 1847), and 30 years later, copper-containing pigment (hemocyanin) was recognized to function as a respiratory compound (Fredericq, 1878). In addition, the red pigment turacin (found in the feathers of turaco, a South African bird) was found to be a copper compound (Church, 1869, 1892). Subsequently, turacin was found to be a derivative of the porphyrin pigments normally present in plants and animals (Rimington, 1939).
