Recombinant human HO-2/HMOX2 protein

Can be stored at +2C to +8C for 1 week. For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20C to -80C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.

HMOX2 is microsomal enzyme that cleave heme ring at the alpha methane bridge to produce the antioxidant biliverdin, inorganic iron and carbon monoxide. Biliverdin is subsequently converted to bilirubin by bilibverdin reductase. This protein appears to be constitutively expressed in mammalian tissues. HMOX2 is involved in the production of carbon monoxide (CO) in brain, where CO is thought to act as a neurotransmitter. Recombinant HMOX2 protein was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
