Heme oxygenase 1 (Hmox1), mouse, recombinant

Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse). Source: Yeast. Expression Region: 1-289aa. Protein Length: Full Length. Tag Info: N-terminal 6xHis-tagged. Target Protein Sequence: MERPQPDSMP QDLSEALKEA TKEVHIQAEN AEFMKNFQKG QVSREGFKLV MASLYHIYTA LEEEIERNKQ NPVYAPLYFP EELHRRAALE QDMAFWYGPH WQEIIPCTPA TQHYVKRLHE VGRTHPELLV AHAYTRYLGD LSGGQVLKKI AQKAMALPSS GEGLAFFTFP NIDSPTKFKQ LYRARMNTLE MTPEVKHRVT EEAKTAFLLN IELFEELQVM LTEEHKDQSP SQMASLRQRP ASLVQDTAPA ETPRGKPQIS TSSSQTPLLQ WVLTLSFLLA TVAVGIYAM. Purity: Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Endotoxin: Not test. Biological Activity: n/a. Form: Liquid or Lyophilized powder. Buffer: If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0. Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20 °C/-80 °C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference. Storage: The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. Notes: Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4 °C for up to one week. Relevance: He oxygenase cleaves the he ring at the alpha methene bridge to form biliverdin. Biliverdin is subsequently converted to bilirubin by biliverdin reductase. Under physiological conditions, the activity of he oxygenase is highest in the spleen, where senescent erythrocytes are sequestrated and destroyed. Exhibits cytoprotective effects since excess of free he sensitizes cells to undergo apoptosis.
