Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells that is responsible for the binding and transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body. Fibrinogen is involved in blood clotting, albumin is a protein that helps to maintain blood pressure and transport hormones and nutrients, transferrin is involved in the transport of iron, and ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body. None of these proteins are directly responsible for the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide by red blood cells.
