Protein attributes

Sequence length	277 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Inferred from homology

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Heme oxygenase cleaves the heme ring at the alpha methene bridge to form biliverdin. Biliverdin is subsequently converted to bilirubin by biliverdin reductase. Under physiological conditions, the activity of heme oxygenase is highest in the spleen, where senescent erythrocytes are sequestrated and destroyed By similarity.
Catalytic activity	Heme + 3 AH2 + 3 O2 = biliverdin + Fe2+ + CO + 3 A + 3 H2O.
Subcellular location	Microsome By similarity. Endoplasmic reticulum By similarity.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the heme oxygenase family.
