The heme oxygenase (HO) enzyme system catabolizes heme to carbon monoxide (CO), ferrous iron, and biliverdin-IXα (BV), which is reduced to bilirubin-IXα (BR) by biliverdin reductase (BVR).

Heme Oxygenase-1 Signaling and Redox Homeostasis in Physiopathological Conditions
Heme-oxygenase is the enzyme responsible for degradation of endogenous iron protoporphyirin heme; it catalyzes the reaction’s rate-limiting step, resulting in the release of carbon monoxide (CO), ferrous ions, and biliverdin (BV), which is successively ...

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is characterized by increased hemolysis which results in plasma heme overload and ultimately cardiovascular complications. Here, we hypothesized that increased heme in SCD causes upregulation of heme oxygenase 1 (Hmox1) which ...

The Diverse Roles of Heme Oxygenase-1 in Tumor Progression
Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is an inducible intracellular enzyme that is expressed in response to a variety of stimuli to degrade heme, which generates the biologically active catabolites carbon monoxide (CO), biliverdin and ferrous iron (Fe2+).

On a class of Hessian type equations on Riemannian manifolds [PDF]
In this paper, we consider a class of Hessian type equations which include the $(n-1)$ Monge-Amp\`{e}re equation on Riemannian manifolds. The \emph{a priori} $C^2$ estimates and the existence of solutions are established.

Fabrication of electronically conductive protein-heme nanowires for power harvesting [PDF]
Electronically conductive protein-based materials could enable the creation of bioelectronic components and devices from sustainable and nontoxic materials, while also being well-suited to interface with biological systems, such as living cells, for biosensor applications.

A Dual Role of Heme Oxygenase-1 in Cancer Cells
Heme oxygenase (HO)-1 is known to metabolize heme into biliverdin/bilirubin, carbon monoxide, and ferrous iron, and it has been suggested to demonstrate cytoprotective effects against various stress-related conditions.

Heme oxygenase-1 mitigates ferroptosis in renal proximal tubule cells.
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of regulated nonapoptotic cell death, which contributes to damage in models of acute kidney injury (AKI). Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is a cytoprotective enzyme induced in response to cellular stress, and is protective ...

Role of Heme Oxygenase as a Modulator of Heme-Mediated Pathways
The heme oxygenase (HO) system is essential for heme and iron homeostasis and necessary for adaptation to cell stress. HO degrades heme to biliverdin (BV), carbon monoxide (CO) and ferrous iron.
