Hemin chloride from porcine
Hemin Chloride
Application Notes
Hemin is used in the management of porphyria attacks, particularly in acute intermittent porphyria.It may be used to study the expression and repression of heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) as well as the activity of HO-1.Hemin is used for the following applications:• To study bacterial strains and growth conditions• Used in short-term colony assays (the culture medium consists of hemin along with other components)• Cell transfections• It may be used in ß-hematin formation assay for analyzing the inhibitory activity of MMV (Medicines for Malaria Venture) Malaria Box compounds against the formation of β-hematin.

Biochemical Physiological Actions | Hemin, the oxidized version of heme, is an iron-containing prosthetic group for a diverse group of proteins. Free heme, which can be released from hemoglobin following hemolysis, is pro-inflammatory and contributes to iron-derived reactive oxygen species. Free hemin levels may be upregulated in various pathological conditions and can contribute to various inflammatory conditions including vascular disorders, renal failure, and immune-mediated disorders. Hemin may be used to study the expression and represson of heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) as well as the activity of HO-1. Hematin is the "X factor" required to grown Haemophilus influenzae. |
