Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Chlorohemin (hemin chloride) is an iron‑containing porphyrin complex mimicking the prosthetic group of hemoproteins. It modulates heme‑oxygenase‑1 (HO‑1) expression, influences oxidative‑stress responses, and participates in electron‑transfer and catalytic reactions. Chlorohemin is widely used as a biochemical reagent for studying heme‑dependent processes.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in heme‑protein research, oxidative‑stress modelling, HO‑1 pathway studies, cytochrome biochemistry, iron‑metabolism analysis, and enzyme‑catalysis assays.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include oxidative damage, skin/eye irritation, iron overload (systemic exposure) and photosensitization. Handle with heme‑protein reagent precautions.
