Background
Heme oxygenase (HO) is a microsomal enzyme involved in cellular response to oxidative stress. HO oxidatively cleaves the heme ring at the alpha methene bridge to form carbon monoxide and 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. Two heme oxygenase isozymes, termed HO 1 and HO 2, have been identified so far. At the amino acid level, HO 1 and HO 2 are 42 % homologous. However, each isozyme is evolutionary highly conserved. HO 1 is the inducible form of the enzyme and is therefore also referred to as stress protein Hsp32. Expression of HO 1 can be induced by a variety of stimuli such as heme, metals, hormones, UV radiation and sulfhydryl depleting agents. In contrast, HO 2 is the constituitive form of the enzyme. It is not inducible by exogeneous stimuli and HO 2 is the most prevalent form in most tissues, except the spleen where HO 1 levels are predominant under normal conditions.Synonyms: HO-2, HO2
