Human Heme Oxygenase 1, Decycling (HO1) ELISA Kit

Quantify inducible Heme Oxygenase 1 protein in human samples with this 96-assay ELISA kit from Assay Genie. HO-1 is the stress-responsive isozyme that catabolizes heme into biliverdin, carbon monoxide, and free ferrous iron, serving as a key readout of cellular antioxidant defenses and inflammatory signaling.

The kit accepts a broad range of starting materials including plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, and cell culture supernatants, in addition to serum. Each kit is supplied in a microplate format with 96 assays per kit, providing the coated wells, detection reagents, standards, and buffers needed to construct a standard curve. Reagents should be refrigerated for storage, and freeze-thaw cycles limited to preserve antibody activity.

HO-1 quantification is widely applied in cardiovascular, hepatic, pulmonary, and neurodegeneration research, where the enzyme is monitored as a biomarker of oxidative stress, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and chronic inflammation. The kit is intended for research use only.
