Heme Oxgenase-1, a Cardinal Modulator of Regulated Cell Death and Inflammation

Heme Oxgenase-1, a Cardinal Modulator of Regulated Cell Death and Inflammation

<b> </b>Heme oxygenase catalyzes the rate-limiting step in heme degradation in order to generate biliverdin, carbon monoxide (CO), and iron. The inducible form of the enzyme, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), exerts a central role in cellular protection. The substrate, heme, is a potent pro-oxida...
