CC   -!- FUNCTION: Binds heme and transports it to the liver for breakdown and
CC       iron recovery, after which the free hemopexin returns to the
CC       circulation.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the liver and secreted in plasma.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the hemopexin family. {ECO:0000305}.
