Extra Details:: Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1,) also known as HSP32, is the inducible isoform of heme oxygenase which catalyzes the NADPH, O2 and cytochrome P450 reductase dependent oxidation of heme to carbon monoxide, iron and biliverdin that is immediately reduced to bilirubin. These products of the HO reaction have important physiological effects: carbon monoxide is a potent vasodilator; biliverdin and its product bilirubin are potent antioxidants; “free” iron increases oxidative stress and regulates the expression of many mRNAs (e.g., DCT-1, ferritin and transferrin receptor) by affecting the conformation of iron regulatory protein (IRP)-1 and its binding to iron regulatory elements (IREs) in the 5’-or 3’-UTRs of the mRNAs. To date, three heme oxygenase isoforms, HO-1, HO-2 and HO-3, have been identified. HO-1 or HSP32, a major heat shock/stress response protein, is ubiquitous and its mRNA as well as its activity can be increased several-fold by heme, other metalloporphyrins, transition metals and stimuli that induce cellular stress. The 5’-untranslated region (UTR) of HO-1 has several consensus regulatory elements which include sites for activator protein 1 (AP-1), metal responsive element (MRE), oncogene c-myc/max heterodimer binding site (Myc/Max), antioxidant response element (ARE) and GC box binding (Sp1) (1). HO-1 expression has been shown to increase in benign postatic hyperplasia (BPH) and malignant prostate tissue suggesting a role for this stress protein in the pathogenesis of BPH and prostate cancer (2). Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot and Flow Cytometry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1:250 (ECL and Colormetric). Microsomal preparations are recommended for optimal detection of HO-1. Flow Cytometry: 10ug/ml Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
