Heme oxygenase 1, encoded by the HMOX1 gene, serves as the inducible form of the rate-limiting enzyme in heme catabolism, converting heme to biliverdin, carbon monoxide, and free iron. Beyond its metabolic function, HMOX1 has emerged as a critical cytoprotective enzyme with significant roles in oxidative stress responses, inflammation, and cellular adaptation to injury. Its upregulation in response to diverse stressors including hypoxia, heavy metals, and inflammatory cytokines makes it a valuable marker for studying cellular stress pathways, while its involvement in cancer biology, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative conditions continues to drive research interest.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated from clone 13C3, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding experimental workflows require. Because the antibody sequence is defined and production occurs in a controlled recombinant system, researchers can expect uniform performance across lots, eliminating the variability that can complicate long-term studies or multi-site collaborations.
Validation studies demonstrate reliable detection across multiple experimental platforms. Western blot analysis confirms specific recognition of HMOX1 at the expected 33 kDa molecular weight in human cell lines including HepG2, HeLa, A549, and COLO-205, as well as mouse NIH/3T3 cells, supporting cross-species reactivity for comparative studies. Immunohistochemistry validation in paraffin-embedded human lymph node tissue shows clean staining with standard antigen retrieval protocols, expanding utility to archival tissue analysis.
Whether investigating stress-induced gene expression, characterizing tumor microenvironment responses, or exploring HMOX1's emerging roles in immunomodulation, this antibody provides a dependable tool for researchers working across oncology, inflammation, and redox biology applications.
