Protein Z is a vitamin K‐dependent anticoagulant with elusive molecular functions. Herein, it is shown that heme binds to protein Z and induces conformational changes. One histidine‐based heme‐binding motif is identified. High heme‐binding affinity and functional effects are demonstrated on protein level. These findings shed new light on the structural
