DBH is a 290 kDa copper-containing oxygenase consisting of four identical subunits, and its activity requires ascorbate as a cofactor.
32.
In mammals, carbon monoxide is naturally produced by the action of heme oxygenase 1 and 2 on the heme from hemoglobin breakdown.
33.
Biliverdin also is replenished in the cycle with its formation from heme units through heme oxygenase ( HO ) localized from the endoplasmic reticulum.
34.
Before then, it was thought that a different Cox, which is short for cyclo-oxygenase, was involved in pain and inflammation.
35.
CO is produced in mammals during the degradation of heme by heme oxygenase-1, a redox-sensitive enzyme induced by oxidative stress.
36.
The first oxidation reaction is catalyzed by the microsomal enzyme heme oxygenase and results in biliverdin ( green color pigment ), iron and carbon monoxide.
37.
Rice eui mutants amass bioactive GAs at high levels, which suggests cytochrome P450 mono-oxygenase is a main enzyme responsible for deactivation GA in rice.
38.
Other names in use are glyceryl-ether monooxygenase, glyceryl-ether cleaving enzyme, glyceryl ether oxygenase, glyceryl etherase, and O-alkylglycerol monooxygenase.
39.
The reduction of cytochrome P450 is not the only physiological function of POR . The final step of heme oxidation by mammalian heme oxygenase requires POR and O 2.
40.
In a broader way, "'leucocyanidin oxygenase "'uses flavan-3, 4-diols ( leucoanthocyanidins ) to produce 3-hydroxyanthocyanidins.
