anti-Heme Oxygenase-2 Antibody

Heme Oxygenase-2

HMOX2 , HO-2 ,HO2 , EC 1.14.99.3

Heme oxygenase (HO) is a microsomal enzyme that oxidatively cleaves heme, a pro-oxidant, into carbon monoxide and biliverdin. Two heme oxygenase isozymes, termed HO-1 and HO-2, have been identified so far. At the amino acid level, HO-1 and HO-2 are 42% homologous. However, each isozyme is evolutionary highly conserved. HO-1 is the inducible form of the enzyme and is therefore also referred to as stress protein Hsp32. Expression of HO-1 can be induced by a variety of stimuli such as heme, metals, hormones, UV radiation and sulfhydryl depleting agents. In contrast, HO-2 is the constituitive form of the enzyme. It is not inducible by exogeneous stimuli and HO-2 is the most prevalent form in most tissues, except the spleen where HO-1 levels are predominant under normal conditions.

Western blotting, Immunoprecipitation, Immunohistochemistry

Western blotting (0.5-4 µg/ml), in immunoprecipitation (20 µg/ml) and Immunohistochemistry (20 µg/ml, frozen section tested). However, the optimal concentrations should be determined individually. The antibody recognizes ~36 kDa Heme-Oxygenase-2 of human, mouse, rat, hamster, and monkey origins. Blocking peptide (Cat.# 3392BP-50) is available separately.

Shelf time: 12 months in temp.: -20 deg.C

The antibody solution should be gently mixed before use.

This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.

If you buy Antibodies supplied by Biovision they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.
