HO-1 Antibody

Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) 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 [taken from the Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ P14618].

Alternative names for HO-1 Antibody include HMOX1 antibody, heat shock protein 32 kDa antibody, HSP32 antibody.
