Zebrafish Hmox1a Antibody / Hmox1 / Heme oxygenase

Hmox1a is inducible under a variety of stress conditions, including oxidative damage, hypoxia, heavy metal exposure, and inflammation. Its expression is regulated by transcription factors such as Nrf2 and Bach1. Zebrafish hmox1a is highly conserved and is expressed in multiple tissues including the liver, kidney, and vasculature, especially under stress or injury. Zebrafish provide a powerful in vivo model for studying Hmox1a function in developmental biology, toxicology, inflammation, and iron metabolism. Because of its conservation with mammalian HMOX1, hmox1a is widely used in research on antioxidant defense, redox signaling, and as a readout for environmental and pharmaceutical stress responses.
