Heme Oxygenase 2 Recombinant Protein | HMOX2 recombinant protein
Recombinant Human Heme Oxygenase 2
Sterile filtered colorless solution.
Introduction: HMOX2 cleaves the heme ring at the alpha methene bridge to form biliverdin. Biliverdin is subsequently transferred to bilirubin by biliverdin reductase. Under physiological conditions, the activity of HMOX2 is highest in the spleen, where senescent erythrocytes are sequestrated and destroyed. HMOX2 participates in the production of carbon monoxide in the brain where it operates as a neurotransmitter. HMOX2 is an essential enzyme in heme catabolism and is involved in cellular response to oxidative stress.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Heme oxygenase, an essential enzyme in heme catabolism, cleaves heme to form biliverdin, which is subsequently converted to bilirubin by biliverdin reductase, and carbon monoxide, a putative neurotransmitter. Heme oxygenase activity is induced by its substrate heme and by various nonheme substances. Heme oxygenase occurs as 2 isozymes, an inducible heme oxygenase-1 and a constitutive heme oxygenase-2. HMOX1 and HMOX2 belong to the heme oxygenase family. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding three different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2013]
Uniprot Description
HMOX2: Heme oxygenase cleaves the heme ring at the alpha methene bridge to form biliverdin. Biliverdin is subsequently converted to bilirubin by biliverdin reductase. Under physiological conditions, the activity of heme oxygenase is highest in the spleen, where senescent erythrocytes are sequestrated and destroyed. Heme oxygenase 2 could be implicated in the production of carbon monoxide in brain where it could act as a neurotransmitter. Belongs to the heme oxygenase family.
