| + | '''Hemolysin''' (HL) is exotoxin from bacteria which causes lysis of red blood cells<ref>PMID:20110774</ref>. '''α-hemolysin''' from the bacterium ''Clostridium'' are called '''alpha-toxin'''. They are zinc metalloenzymes which bind to the membrane in the presence of calcium. It acts as a phospholipase C. | ||
