Rat HO1 (Heme Oxygenase 1) ELISA Kit

ELISA Type: Sandwich. Detection Range: 0.16-10µg/mL. Sensitivity: 0.1µg/mL. Sample Types: Serum, plasma and other biological fluids. Protein function: [Heme oxygenase 1]: Catalyzes the oxidative cleavage of heme at the alpha-methene bridge carbon, released as carbon monoxide (CO), to generate biliverdin IXalpha, while releasing the central heme iron chelate as ferrous iron (PubMed:1575508, PubMed:1935972, PubMed:3865203). Affords protection against programmed cell death and this cytoprotective effect relies on its ability to catabolize free heme and prevent it from sensitizing cells to undergo apoptosis.
