Description
The 23/Heme Oxygenase 1 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), also known as Heat Shock Protein 32 (HSP32). HO-1 is a 32 kDa monooxygenase encoded by HMOX1. Heme oxygenases 1 and 2 (HO-1, HO-2) cleave the heme molecule, resulting in the production of carbon monoxide (CO) and biliverdin. While HO-2 is constitutively expressed in tissues, HO-1 is rapidly induced by several stimuli such as lutathione depletion, hemin, heat shock, heavy metals, oxidative stress, oxidized LDL, anoxia, and endotoxic shock. HO-1 and its byproducts have potent antioxidant, antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects in various cell types. In humans, HO-1 deficiency is associated with susceptibility to oxidative stress, increased inflammation and endothelial cell damage. In immune cells, HO-1 is required for the activation of interferon (IFN) regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) after Toll-like receptor 3 or 4 stimulation or viral infection. It is also upregulated on T cells upon TCR stimulation.
