Heme Oxygenase-1: A Metabolic Nike [PDF]
Antioxidants & Redox Signaling, 2014 Heme degradation, which was described more than 30 years ago, is still very actively explored with many novel discoveries on its role in various disease models every year.The heme oxygenases (HO) are metabolic enzymes that utilize NADPH and oxygen to break apart the heme moiety liberating biliverdin (BV), carbon monoxide (CO), and iron.

Heme-oxygenases during erythropoiesis in K562 and human bone marrow cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 In mammalian cells, heme can be degraded by heme-oxygenases (HO). Heme-oxygenase 1 (HO-1) is known to be the heme inducible isoform, whereas heme-oxygenase 2 (HO-2) is the constitutive enzyme.

Carbon monoxide: from toxin to endogenous modulator of cardiovascular functions
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1999 Carbon monoxide (CO) is a pollutant commonly recognized for its toxicological attributes, including CNS and cardiovascular effects. But CO is also formed endogenously in mammalian tissues. Endogenously formed CO normally arises from heme degradation in a
