CLASS OF ENZYMES
Heme oxygenase-1; Heme oxygenase (decyclizing); Haem oxygenase; EC 1.14.99.3; Heme,hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase (alpha-methene-oxidizing, hydroxylating); HSP32
Heme oxygenase, or haem oxygenase, (HMOX, commonly abbreviated as HO) is an enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of heme to produce biliverdin, ferrous ion, and carbon monoxide.
