High-affinity heme uptake system protein IsdE

UniProtKB accession:  Q7A652

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Involved in heme (porphyrin) scavenging. Binds Fe(2+) and Fe(3+) heme but the largest fraction is Fe(2+) heme. Functions as a high-affinity heme binding protein and probably has a role in relaying heme-iron from cell wall-anchored isd proteins receptors to the probable permease IsdF (By similarity).
