GlossaryHeme Oxygenase-1 (HMOX1)

breaks down heme into biliverdin, iron, and carbon monoxide

Heme Oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in breaking down heme, a component of hemoglobin, into biliverdin, free iron, and carbon monoxide. This process not only helps in recycling iron but also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, which can protect cells from damage.
