background:
Binds heme and transports it to the liver for breakdown and iron recovery, after which the free hemopexin returns to the circulation.
Function:
Binds heme and transports it to the liver for breakdown and iron recovery, after which the free hemopexin returns to the circulation.
Subunit:
Interacts with HEV ORF3 protein. Interacts with FLVCR1.
Subcellular Location:
Secreted.
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed by the liver and secreted in plasma.
Post-translational modifications:
N- and O-glycosylated. O-glycosylated with core 1 or possibly core 8 glycans. O-glycosylation in the 30-40 region is minor compared to glycosylation at Thr-24 and Thr-29.
Similarity:
Belongs to the hemopexin family.
Contains 5 hemopexin-like domains.
Database links:
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: P02790.2
