Description |
heme oxygenase 1 |
| Gene Summary |
Predicted to enable several functions, including heme binding activity; oxidoreductase activity, acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen, reduced flavin or flavoprotein as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of oxygen; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in negative regulation of cytokine production involved in inflammatory response. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to cadmium ion; cellular response to cisplatin; and regulation of macroautophagy. Located in nucleus. Is active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study hemochromatosis and malaria. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); cerebrovascular disease (multiple); factor VIII deficiency; lung disease (multiple); and sickle cell anemia. Orthologous to human HMOX1 (heme oxygenase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025] |
