Reaction: Alpha1-Microglobulin binds heme
- in pathway: Scavenging of heme from plasma
Alpha-1-Microglobulin binds heme b (Allhorn et al. 2002, Larsson et al. 2004). The crystal structure of the complex indicates that each microglobulin molecule binds 2 heme molecules and the microglobulin:heme complex trimerizes (Siebel et al. 2012).
