Binds heme and transports it to the liver for breakdown and iron recovery, after which the free hemopexin retus to the circulation.
Background
Hemopexin (or haemopexin; HPX), also known as beta-1B-glycoprotein, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HPX gene and belongs to hemopexin family of proteins. Hemopexin binds heme with the highest affinity of any known protein. Its function is scavenging the heme released or lost by the tuover of heme proteins such as hemoglobin and thus protects the body from the oxidative damage that free heme can cause. In addition, hemopexin releases its bound ligand for intealisation upon interacting with a specific receptor situated on the surface of liver cells. This function of hemopexin is to preserve the body's iron.
