Product Overview
Description | Recombinant Human Heme Oxygenase 1 is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Met1-Thr261 is expressed. |
Accession | P09601 |
Synonym | Heme Oxygenase 1; HO-1; HMOX1; HO; HO1 |
Gene Background | Heme Oxygenase 1 (HO-1) is an enzyme in endoplasmic reticulum that belongs to the heme oxygenase family. HO-1 cleaves the heme ring at the alpha methene bridge to form Biliverdin. Biliverdin is subsequently converted to Bilirubin by Biliverdin reductase. In physiological state, the highest activity of HO-1 is found in the spleen, where senescent erythrocytes are sequestrated and destroyed. HO-1 activity is highly inducible by its substrate heme and by various non-heme substances such as heavy metals, bromobenzene, endotoxin, oxidizing agents and UVA. HO-1 is involved in the regulation of cardiovascular function and response to a variety of stressors. Defects in HO-1 are the cause of Heme Oxygenase 1 deficiency, resulting in marked erythrocyte fragmentation and intravascular hemolysis, coagulation abnormalities, endothelial damage, and iron deposition in renal and hepatic tissues. |

Target Details
Target Function | 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. Exhibits cytoprotective effects since excess of free heme sensitizes cells to undergo apoptosis. |
Subcellular Location | Microsome. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. |
Protein Families | Heme oxygenase family |
Database References | |
Associated Diseases | Heme oxygenase 1 deficiency (HMOX1D) |
Tissue Specificity | Expressed at higher levels in renal cancer tissue than in normal tissue (at protein level). |
