Glomus cells in the carotid bodies produce the enzymes heme
oxygenase 2 (HO - 2), which generates carbon monoxide (CO) when oxygen levels are appropriate, and CSE, which generates hydrogen sulfide (H2S) when oxygen levels dip.
Further investigation of the metabolic pathway that breaks down the fluorescent material revealed a gene, heme
oxygenase - 1 (HO - 1), that may be responsible for the differences in fluorescence.
Glomus cells in the carotid bodies produce the enzymes heme
oxygenase 2 (HO - 2), which generates carbon monoxide (CO) when oxygen levels are appropriate, and cystathionine - γ - lyase (CSE), which generates hydrogen sulfide (H2S) when oxygen levels dip.
Increased production of the protein heme
oxygenase - 1, or HO - 1, is known to help protect against endothelial cell injury and cardiovascular disease.
To figure out when the transition from healthy to unhealthy obesity occurs, Harald Esterbauer, an obesity researcher at the Medical University of Vienna, and his colleagues took a closer look at a protein called heme
oxygenase - 1 (HO - 1), which was thought to suppress inflammation — the critical bridge that links obesity to metabolic disease.
Doré's team suspected that ginkgo biloba might activate heme
oxygenase, thereby protecting brain cells.
Together, the two experiments suggest that ginkgo exerts a protective effect by turning on heme
oxygenase.
In normal mice, ginkgo halved the volume of brain tissue injured after a stroke, but it had little effect on mutant mice that lacked heme
oxygenase.

While heme
oxygenase - 1 (HO - 1) inducers are clinically approved drugs for non-immune-related diseases, they do have immunosuppressive properties when administered systemically in rodents.
The plant carbon - fixing enzyme Rubisco (ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase /
oxygenase) has poor kinetic properties with regard to its reaction with CO2, and also reacts with O2, leading to the wasteful process of photorespiration.

Bach1 is a member of the BTB and CNC transcriptional regulator family that, like Nrf2, binds to ARE sequences as heterodimeric complexes with small Maf proteins [18] A major physiological role for Bach1 is in iron homeostasis through regulation of the expression of heme
oxygenase - 1 (HMOX1), ferroportin (FPN1) and Ferritin (FTH) genes [23], [24], [33], [41].
Nrf2 binds to antioxidant response elements (AREs) found in the promoters of over 200 anti-oxidant and cytoprotective genes including NAD (P) H dehydrogenase, quinone 1 (NQO1), catalase (CAT), glutamate - cysteine ligase (GCLC), aldoketoreductase family members, thioredoxin reductase (TXNRD1), and heme
oxygenase - 1 (HMOX1)[12].
