About this Product
SKU:
ECH-F-H070
Extra Details:
Cu (II) Protoporphyrin IX does not inhibit heme oxygenase (the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of heme to biliverdin in the heme degradation pathway) and is used as a negative control for Zn (II) Protoporphyrin (an inihibitor of heme oxygenase). Heme oxygenase has been implicated in tumor cell resistance to chemotherapy, reduction of free radical formation and inflammation, and associated with vascular repair. \n \n \n \nStorage \nCu(II) Protoporphyrin IX is stable for at least one year when stored as a solid, protected from moisture, at -20 °C. Protect from light. \nReferences \n1) Jozkowicz, A., H. Was, et al. (2007). "Heme oxygenase-1 in tumors: is it a false friend?" Antioxid Redox Signal 9(12): 2099-117. \n2) Abraham, N. G. and A.
