HO-2/HMOX2 Protein, Human (His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

Through its catalytic activity, HO-2/HMOX2 protein promotes the oxidative cleavage of heme at the α-methylene bridge carbon, thereby releasing carbon monoxide (CO). This process simultaneously produces biliverdin IXalpha and releases the central heme iron chelate in the form of ferrous iron. HO-2/HMOX2 Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived HO-2/HMOX2 protein, expressed by E. coli , with C-6*His labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

Through its catalytic activity, HO-2/HMOX2 protein promotes the oxidative cleavage of heme at the α-methylene bridge carbon, thereby releasing carbon monoxide (CO). This process simultaneously produces biliverdin IXalpha and releases the central heme iron chelate in the form of ferrous iron. HO-2/HMOX2 Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived HO-2/HMOX2 protein, expressed by E. coli , with C-6*His labeled tag.

Background

Heme oxygenase-2 (HO-2), encoded by the HMOX2 gene, is a critical enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative cleavage of heme at the alpha-methene bridge carbon, resulting in the release of carbon monoxide (CO) and the generation of biliverdin IXalpha. Simultaneously, the enzyme liberates the central heme iron chelate as ferrous iron. This reaction represents a pivotal step in heme catabolism and serves as a regulatory mechanism for maintaining cellular heme homeostasis. The release of carbon monoxide and biliverdin, along with the liberation of ferrous iron, underscores the multifunctional role of HO-2 in both gasotransmitter signaling and the recycling of iron. The enzymatic activity of HO-2 is essential for various physiological processes, including antioxidant defense, anti-inflammatory responses, and the regulation of vascular tone.
