What has or have a hemolytic function?
Hemolytic function refers to the process of breaking down red blood cells (RBCs) and can be carried out by various factors. Certain diseases, such as hemolytic anemia, involve the destruction of RBCs by the immune system or other mechanisms. Additionally, certain pathogens, like some bacteria and viruses, can produce toxins that induce hemolysis. Enzymes like hemolysins, found in certain organisms, also contribute to this function by lysing red blood cells.
