โฆ Synopsis
Abstract
Heme scavenging by plasma proteins, including serum albumin (SA), provides protection against freeโheme oxidative damage, limits access by pathogens to the heme, and contributes to iron homeostasis by recycling the heme iron. In turn, serum hemeโalbumin (SAโheme) acquires hemeโbased ligandโbinding and (pseudoโ)enzymatic properties. Heme binding to SA and SAโheme reactivity are allosterically and competitively modulated by endogenous and exogenous third components, this being relevant in pharmacotherapy management. ยฉ 2009 IUBMB IUBMB Life, 61: 1118โ1122, 2009
