Heme oxygenase 1

BE0000735ProteinHumansHMOX1

Catalyzes the oxidative cleavage of heme at the alpha-methene bridge carbon, released as carbon monoxide (CO), to generate biliverdin IXalpha, while releasing the central heme iron chelate as ferrous iron (PubMed:11121422, PubMed:19556236, PubMed:7703255). It is acted on by 19 drugs in DrugBank.
