Heme Oxygenase 2 (HMOX2) Antibody, Abbexa, abx030942

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 Heme Oxygenase 2 belong to the heme oxygenase family. Alternative splice variants encoding the same protein have been identified at this locus.
