HO-2/HMOX2, Human (His)

Through its catalytic activity, HO-2/HMOX2 protein promotes the oxidative cleavage of heme at the α-methylene bridge carbon, thereby releasing carbon monoxide (CO) . This process simultaneously produces biliverdin IXalpha and releases the central heme iron chelate in the form of ferrous iron. HO-2/HMOX2 Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived HO-2/HMOX2 protein, expressed by E. coli , with C-6*His labeled tag.
