Function

Hemolysin (HL) is exotoxin from bacteria which causes lysis of red blood cells[1].

  • delta-hemolysin is a 26 main acid peptide from the bacterium Staphylococcus exhibiting antimicrobial activity against Legionerlla [2].


See details for α-hemolysin in Pore forming toxin, α-hemolysin. See details of hemolysin E in Molecular Playground/ClyA.

For toxins in Proteopdia see Toxins.

Relevance

HL acts as a virulence factor in the pathogenesis of invasive infections[3].
