Heme Proteins, Heme Oxygenase-1 and Oxidative Stress

Heme is ferrous protoporphyrin-IX that is the prosthetic group of hemoproteins, such as hemoglobin, myoglobin and cytochromes that are of vital importance. In contrast, “free heme”, a protein-unbound heme, that is either just synthesized but yet not incorporated into hemoproteins, or that is released from hemoprotein under oxidative conditions, is highly toxic, since it catalyzes the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Thus, heme proteins and free heme have an important relationship with oxidative stress.
