Hemopexin Proteins and Enzymes

Hemopexin (HPX) is a 60 kDa plasma glycoprotein with two four-bladed beta-propeller folds. This structural motif has been found in other proteins including collagenases and provides sites for protein-protein interactions. The liver is the major synthesizing organ. Expression in the central nervous system, in the retina, and in peripheral nerves has...
