products description :
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.

ncbi summary :
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. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding three different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2013]
uniprot summary :
HMOX2: Heme oxygenase 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. Heme oxygenase 2 could be implicated in the production of carbon monoxide in brain where it could act as a neurotransmitter. Belongs to the heme oxygenase family.
