Panchenko, Maria V., Harrison W. Farber, and Joseph H. Korn. Induction of heme oxygenase-1 by hypoxia and free radicals in human dermal fibroblasts. Am. J. Physiol. Cell Physiol. 278: C92–C101, 2000.—Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in heme catabolism and presumably is involved in cellular iron homeostasis. It is induced by a variety of cellular stresses, including oxyge...
