Function

Hemolysin (HL) is exotoxin from bacteria which causes lysis of red blood cells[1]. Hemolysin from the bacterium Clostridium are called alpha-toxin (AT). AT is a zinc metalloenzyme and binds to the membrane in the presence of calcium. It acts as a phospholipase C.

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[2].

α-hemolysin heptamer (PDB code 7ahl).
