| Function: | Bacterial hemolysins are exotoxins that attack blood cell membranes and cause cell rupture by mechanisms not clearly defined. | |
| Function: | Cell-bound hemolysin, which releases heme-iron from erythrocytes by interaction with the erythrocyte membrane. HpmA requires HpmB function. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell outer membrane. | |
| Miscellaneous: | The conserved amphipathic domains in ShlA and HpmA may be responsible for pore formation. | |
