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