A Bacterial Myeloperoxidase with Antimicrobial Properties
BioTech, 2023 The four mammalian peroxidases (myeloperoxidase, eosinophilperoxidase, lactoperoxidase, and thyroid peroxidase) are widely studied in the literature. They catalyze the formation of antimicrobial compounds and participate in innate immunity.

The heme-responsive PrrH sRNA regulates Pseudomonas aeruginosa pyochelin gene expression
mSphere, 2023 Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that requires iron for growth and virulence, yet this nutrient is sequestered by the innate immune system during infection. When iron is limiting, P. aeruginosa expresses the PrrF1 and PrrF2 small RNAs (

Gut microbiota facilitates dietary heme-induced epithelial hyperproliferation by opening the mucus barrier in colon [PDF]
, 2015 Colorectal cancer risk is associated with diets high in red meat. Heme, the pigment of red meat, induces cytotoxicity of colonic contents and elicits epithelial damage and compensatory hyperproliferation, leading to hyperplasia.

New Marker of Colon Cancer Risk Associated with Heme Intake: 1,4-Dihydroxynonane Mercapturic Acid [PDF]
, 2006 Background: Red meat consumption is associated with an increased risk of colon cancer. Animal studies show that heme, found in red meat, promotes preneoplastic lesions in the colon, probably due to the oxidative properties of this compound.

The Role of Bilirubin and the Other “Yellow Players” in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Antioxidants, 2020 Bilirubin is a yellow endogenous derivate of the heme catabolism. Since the 1980s, it has been recognized as one of the most potent antioxidants in nature, able to counteract 10,000× higher intracellular concentrations of H2O2.
