Anti-Heme oxygenase 1 Antibody

This rabbit polyclonal antibody from Antibodies.com specifically targets Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), also referred to as HSP32, a 32 kDa inducible enzyme responsible for catalyzing the degradation of heme into biliverdin, carbon monoxide, and free iron. The antibody is supplied as a 100 µl aliquot in an unconjugated format, providing flexibility for researchers to pair it with their preferred secondary detection reagents.

Validated for Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry applications, this reagent demonstrates reactivity with human samples. Heme oxygenase 1 plays a critical role in cellular defense against oxidative stress and inflammation, making this antibody valuable for studies in cardiovascular research, neurodegeneration, cancer biology, and inflammatory disease models. For Western Blotting, the antibody recognizes a band of approximately 32 kDa corresponding to the full-length HO-1 protein.

The polyclonal nature of this reagent provides recognition of multiple epitopes on the target, which can enhance signal strength and detection sensitivity across different experimental conditions. Store the vial at -20°C for long-term stability, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles to maintain antibody integrity.
