Background:

Heme Oxygenase 2 (HO-2), also known as HMOX2, is a 36 kDa microsomal enzyme required for the metabolism of heme to biliverdin. Heme oxygenase occurs as 2 isozymes, the constitutively expressed heme oxygenase-2 (HO-2/HMOX2) and the inducible heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1/HMOX1). HO-1 expression is induced by heme and other non-heme compounds. Human HO-2 shares 42% amino acid sequence identity with human HO-1 and 89% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat HO-2.
