Role of heme oxygenase-1 in microbial host defense

Heme oxygenase (HO)-1 is a cytoprotective enzyme that plays a critical role in defending the body against oxidant-induced injury during inflammatory processes. HO catalyzes the degradation of heme to carbon monoxide (CO), biliverdin, and ferrous iron. Biliverdin is converted to bilirubin, a potent e...
