Hemopexin can scavenge free heme that can cause oxidative damage to human body.
Explanation:
Heme possess oxidative capacity that can cause damage to cells inside human body. These heme are usually released by heme-binding protein during internal hemorrhage, hemolysis, and other cell damage. A protein called hemopexin (which have the highest affinity for heme among all heme.binding proteins) works well for this particular role as heme scavenger.
