abstract：:Heme oxygenase is the rate limiting enzyme in heme degradation to carbon monoxide (CO), iron and bilirubin. The inducible isoform of the protein, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), is susceptible to up-regulation by a diverse variety of conditions and agents in mammalian tissue, leading to the common conception that HO-1 is a s...
