“These results suggest that human fibrinogen directly recognizes iron ion, the PPIX ring and metal ions complexed with the PPIX ring, and that the binding of hemin is augmented by iron ions.”
“Pretreatment with hemin and desferoxamine, which, like ferritin, can bind iron , inhibited H(2)O(2)-induced increases in G and mannitol permeability.”

“Iron utilization studies of selected citrobacter isolates indicated that hemin and hematin could reverse the effects of iron limitation on growth under iron-stressed conditions (1000 micrograms/ml of EDDA).”
“ Hemin inhibited transferrin iron uptake and heme synthesis, but had a much lesser effect on iron incorporation and heme synthesis from non-transferrin donors of iron.”

“The possibility that hemin influences mainly the uptake of iron used directly for heme synthesis, and to a lesser extent intracellular storage of iron is discussed.”
