Rat Heme Oxygenase 2, Decycling (HO2) ELISA Kit

This ELISA kit from Assay Genie enables quantitative measurement of Heme Oxygenase 2 (HO2, also known as HMOX2) protein in rat-derived research samples. Heme Oxygenase 2 is the constitutive isozyme that catalyzes heme degradation into biliverdin, carbon monoxide, and free iron, contributing to cellular antioxidant defense, vascular signaling, and neuroprotection. The kit supports research on oxidative stress pathways, ischemia-reperfusion injury models, and neural heme metabolism. Investigators quantify HO2 levels using a microplate-based protocol with absorbance readings. Each kit provides reagents sufficient for 96 determinations, with components intended to be stored refrigerated to preserve reagent activity. The single-use plate configuration is suitable for both academic and pharmaceutical research laboratories studying heme homeostasis and related disease mechanisms.
