additional information | a variant of Hmox1 lacking the C-terminal heme regulatory domain exhibits the same specific activity as one containing both the catalytic core and heme regulatory domain. A truncated variant containing only the heme regulatory region binds but cannot oxidize heme | Homo sapiens |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
physiological function | isoform Hmox2 contains two C-terminal heme regulatory motifs centered at Cys265 and Cys282. The same mechanism of heme hydroxylation to alpha-meso-hydroxyheme is employed by both isoform Hmox1 and Hmox2 and the heme regulatory motifs do not affect the physicochemical properties of the oxy-Fe(II) and HOO-Fe(III) states of Hmox2. Heme oxygenation by Hmox2 occurs solely at the catalytic core and hydroxylation proceeds three times slower and the oxy-Fe(II) state is 100fold less stable in Hmox2 than in Hmox1 | Homo sapiens |
