Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 3263
Gene name Hemopexin
Gene symbol HPX
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
HX
Chromosome 11
Chromosome location 11p15.4
Summary This gene encodes a plasma glycoprotein that binds heme with high affinity. The encoded protein is an acute phase protein that transports heme from the plasma to the liver and may be involved in protecting cells from oxidative stress. [provided by RefSeq,
