Recombinant Human HMOX1, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: HMOX1-27877TH
• Product Overview: Recombinant fragment corresponding to amino acids 1-266 of Human Heme Oxygenase 1 fused to His tag at C-terminus; 274 amino acids, 31.4 kDa.

Specification

• 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.

Q&As

Can you discuss the role of HMOX1 in modulating the immune response in the context of infectious diseases, and how its induction may impact host-pathogen interactions?

HMOX1 modulates the immune response during infectious diseases, influencing host-pathogen interactions. Its induction can contribute to an anti-inflammatory environment and impact the outcome of infections.

How does HMOX1 contribute to the regulation of iron homeostasis, and what are the molecular mechanisms involved in its interaction with iron-responsive elements?

HMOX1 regulates iron homeostasis by releasing free iron during heme degradation. Its interaction with iron-responsive elements influences cellular iron levels and responses to iron availability.

What is the relationship between HMOX1 and oxidative stress-induced autophagy, and how does this connection influence cellular responses to stressors?

HMOX1 is linked to oxidative stress-induced autophagy, contributing to cellular adaptation and survival. This connection influences the cellular response to stressors by promoting self-cleaning mechanisms.

Can you discuss the role of HMOX1 in vascular health and its impact on endothelial function, particularly in the context of cardiovascular diseases?

HMOX1 plays a role in vascular health by protecting endothelial cells. Its anti-inflammatory and vasodilatory effects contribute to cardiovascular protection and may have implications for disease prevention.

How does HMOX1 participate in the modulation of the immune response, and what are the mechanisms by which it influences inflammatory pathways?

HMOX1 modulates the immune response by suppressing inflammation. It inhibits pro-inflammatory pathways by influencing transcription factors and inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators.
